Compared to the academic school, Makat's style is obviously a bit "wild", especially in the use of color, and Makat's gorgeous and dizzying color grading techniques are incredibly capable of creating a glittering, dreamlike effect. This heart-warming style of decoration deeply stimulated the later Gustav Klimt.

Surprisingly, such a painter was dissuaded in his early years by his teachers at the Vienna Academy of Arts for "lack of talent". Since then he has been groping on his own, and later surpassed his mentor with his so-called talent. Makat flourished in high society and was highly favored by the royal family, and he also presided over the decoration of the royal buildings of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Later, Makat even planned the silver wedding parades of Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria (Princess Sissi).
