Imre Henszlmann studied medicine at the universities in Pest and Vienna, but then turned to art archeology and went on long trips. Returning to Pest in 1840, he worked for various magazines and published, among other things, a Hungarian work in 1840: “Parallels between the views of art and the education for art in the old and new times”.

1848-49 he had to survive a political imprisonment of eight months in Vienna due to his position in the then Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From 1852 to 1860 he lived partly in London and partly in Paris ; then he went on a trip to Constantinople and Athens, from where he returned to Hungary in 1862. From 1873 he was professor of art history at the University of Pest .
