Eckhardt von Eckhardsburg came from a long line of military officers; his father was a major and his brother was a major-general in the k.u.k. Armee (Imperial and Royal Army). In 1880–1881, Eckhardt von Eckhardsburg studied painting at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, then, until 1884, at the Vienna Academy under Christian Griepenkerl and August Eisenmenger. From 1885 to 1890, he continued his studies at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts under Nikolaus Gysis, and in 1894–1895 in Karlsruhe and Würth am Rhein under Leopold von Kalckreuth and Heinrich von Zügel. He was a member of the Deutsch-Böhmischer Künstlerbund (German-Bohemian Artists’ Association) in Prague and the Künstlerbund Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Artists’ Association; alongside Gustav Bamberger). In 1900, Eckhardt von Eckhardsburg exhibited for the first time as a guest at the Hagenbund, and he was a member from 1902 to 1922. He had been a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus since 1923. Eckhardt von Eckhardsburg lived in Prague until 1903 and in Perchtoldsdorf from 1904. During the First World War, he served as a war artist on the Volhynian front. In the 1930s, he worked as an illustrator for the *Österreichische Soldatenblatt* (Austrian Soldiers’ Gazette). In 1991, a commemorative exhibition was held at Perchtoldsdorf Castle, and in 1996 a group exhibition took place at the Anton Hanak Museum in Langenzersdorf.
