After training as a lithographer in the workshop of his father Leopold Müller, Leopold Carl Müller became a student at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts under Carl von Blaas and C. Ruben. Numerous journeys (among others several trips to Venice and Hungary as well as to London) also took him to Paris, where he was first confronted with Orientalist painting in 1867 through the works of Fromentin. Between 1873 and 1886 Müller travelled to Egypt a total of nine times, where he found motifs for the paintings for which he would eventually become known as the 'Orientmüller'.
- Eber's two-volume work on Egypt appeared in 1879-1880.
