Vaclav Brozik was born into a poor family of 7 children, which moved to the outskirts of Prague, when he was a toddler. Young Vaclav became an apprentice lithographer, but his real interest was in painting.

When Brozik left for Paris in 1876, he did not know a word of French, but he brought with him was 2 letters of recommendation. Within 2 years he became recognized, as he was awarded a gold medal at the Salon de Paris.
