Born in Birnbaum, Germany, in 1861, Ury was initially apprenticed to a tradesman before leaving to study painting, first in Düsseldorf and then Brussels, Paris, Stuttgart, and Munich. He settled in Berlin in 1887, holding his first exhibition in 1889. Despite its hostile reception, Ury was subsequently awarded a prize by the Berlin Academy. In 1893 he joined the Munich Secession (a group of progressive artists), returning to Berlin in 1901 and exhibiting with the Berlin Secession in 1915 and 1922, when in a display of 150 of his paintings, Ury was honoured as ‘the artistic glorifier of the capital’ by the mayor of Berlin.
