About the Item

Alpine Views (Northern Italy) – Henry Marko (1855 -1921) Work dimensions: 33 x 44 cm each Measurements with frame: 41 x 50 cm Technique: oil on canvas Period: circa 1890 Henry Marko Florence 1855 – Lavagna (GE) 1921 Henry Markò born in Florence in 1855 is a landscape and marine painter of notable sensitivity, undoubtedly linked to the late nineteenth-century pictorial tradition with romantic hints. Descendant of the pictorial dynasty headed by the Austrian Andrea Markò, between the 19th and 20th centuries, he painted a series of works characterized by a skilful scenographic structure: rare seascapes of the Ligurian Riviera, luminous and very detailed in their execution, numerous wooded landscapes, sometimes animated by figurines, and frequent views of cities such as Florence, Rome, Genoa, Sestri Levante, which demonstrate his constant work throughout the national territory, thus coming into contact with the most illustrious pictorial personalities of the time. Much of his activity took place in Tuscany, especially in Florence, where, moreover, Andrea Markò and Carlo Markò the younger carried on the landscape school founded by their father Carlo Markò the elder (1791-1860). Henry Markò, in the final part of his artistic career, moved permanently to Liguria, to Lavagna, where he favored local landscape design. Works by him in numerous private collections, in Italy and abroad.

His early works are characterized by travel memories and views of the city. In the 1930s, he developed a passion for the representation of masks and artistic and bizarre characters. Many of his works show features of the grotesque - the artistic medium of Wellenstein to overcome the instability of time. In the 1950s Wellenstein was inspired by theatrical rehearsals and created theatrical scenarios in paintings with emphasized contours. These paintings often show influences from works by Karl Hofer...

  • German Landscape Painting of Alpine Mountain Waterfall by Guido Hampe
    By Guido Hampe
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    GUIDO HAMPE German, 1839-1902 Alpine Landscape with Waterfall (1881) Oil on canvas signed lower right "G. Hampe '81" Item # 106QJY03C An incredibly powerful Romantic landscape of the Alpine mountains with a waterfall cascading into a valley, the river pouring over the rocks and curving around the bend, flowing past a pair of figures seated on a grassy noll with a transcendant unearthly lighting that creates a focal point of the couple. It is as if the clouds have opened up just to shine light on them, emphasizing the glorious day the man and woman are experiencing on this leisurely hike through nature. Painted by Guido Hampe in 1881, the painting was acquired by Charles S. Shultz, president of the Hoboken Bank in Montclair, New Jersey where it remained in his home until its deaccession from the home in 2021. The home was particularly interesting for its total originality, the interior looking almost identical throughout its entire life to how it appeared at its inception in 1896. Enclosed in the collection of images is a shot of the painting in situ over the living room fireplace as captured by the Montclair Magazine article on the home in 2020. The work is signed in his typical script lower right "G. Hampe / 81". It remains housed in the original and substantial giltwood frame, fully restored and a very powerful presentation. An article on the Charles S. Schultz home can be found by clicking here. Artist Listings & Bibliography: *. E. Benezit Dictionary of Artists, Vol. VI, Gründ, 2006, p. 1105 Measurements: 32 1/4" H x 42 1/2" W [canvas]; 48 1/2" H x 58 5/8" W x 5 1/4" D [frame] Condition Report: A fine presentation ready to place: frame with minor wear/abrasion/loss; canvas with trace grime in the mountain tops and sky and all-over moderate craquelure. Surface bright and vibrant. Retains the original frame that we have had professionally restored with trace regilding and inpainting, some elements recreated; the restoration has preserved the antique nature of the frame and all restoration has been toned to match the aged aesthetic of the frame. Painting was acquired with its apparently first surface, an incredibly thick grime layer that significantly obscured the image - this was likely due to its placement above the fireplace in the Charles Shultz...
