About the Item

Henry Markò (Florence 1855-1921) Ligurian pine forest Oil on canvas in gilded frame First quarter 20th century Signed to the lower left Size: 74x104 cm (92x121 cm including frame) Henry Markò, born in Florence, is a landscape and seascape painter of remarkable sensitivity, undoubtedly linked to the late 19th-century painting tradition with hints of Romanticism. A descendant of the painting dynasty headed by the Austrian Andrea Markò, he painted a series of works between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that were characterized by skillful scenic layout: rare seascapes of the Ligurian Riviera, luminous and highly detailed in execution, numerous wooded landscapes, sometimes enlivened by figurines, and frequent views of cities such as Florence, Rome, Genoa, and Sestri Levante, which demonstrate his constant work throughout the country, thus coming into contact with the most illustrious pictorial personalities of the time, including, as some publications report, the Ligurian painter Antonio Discovolo without, however, being influenced pictorially. Much of his activity took place in Tuscany, especially in Florence, where, after all, Andrea Markò and Carlo Markò the younger, carried on a Landscape School that represented at that time the most advanced pictorial instances in the sphere of modern landscape painting, before the advent of the "revolutionary "Tuscan Macchiaioli movement. In fact, the work of Andrew and his disciples was derived, in particular, from the Art of Calame and the Barbizon school. Henry Markò in the final part of his artistic career, moved permanently to Liguria, in Lavagna, where he favored a landscape painting of local scope.
