Ferenc Joachim

Who was Ferenc Joachim?

Ferenc Joachim was a Hungarian painter of portraits and landscapes in oil, watercolors and pastels on canvas, board and paper. He studied and painted in Budapest and Western Europe. Hungarian usage puts the surname before the given name, in the form Joachim Ferenc. As an untitled member of the minor nobility, Joachim was entitled to bear the honorary prefix Csejtei, so prior to the Communist abolition of honorifics in 1947 his name might be found in the form "Csejtei Joachim Ferenc" in Hungarian, or in German "Franz Joachim von Csejthey".
