MACCO, GEORG
1863 Aachen - 1933 Düsseldorf
Title: Old Town Alleys in Cairo.
Date: 1903.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Measurement: 47.5 x 34.5cm.
Notation: Signed and dated lower right: "Macco / 19.3.03".
Frame: Framed.
Provenance:
Private ownership, Germany, purchased from the artist's estate.
His training in the landscape classes of Dücker and Janssen at the Düsseldorf Academy is visible in the works of Georg Macco, who was born in Aachen, throughout his lifetime. However, he expands his motifs from the Rhineland, the Netherlands and neighboring regions to exotic places. He becomes acquainted with these on his travels, which take the young artist from Athens to Constantinople, Jerusalem and Mecca. With his views of Cairo, Macco was very successful at the time, as well as with his plastic depictions of nature of the Alps and Scandinavia.
Georg Macco, who worked from Düsseldorf after additional years of study in Munich and his first excursions, still fascinates us today with his travel depictions. Although meticulously planned, they are always characterized by the spontaneity and plasticity that reflect his enthusiasm for foreign places. The timelessness of historical places or natural spectacles are still valid today. All of Georg Macco's works offered under lots 1251 to 1256 originate from a collection to which they came directly from the artist's estate and thus have a special provenance.
