SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Károly Markó the Elder made Italian landscape a point of exchange between his European career and Hungarian culture. After Vienna, he worked extensively in Italy while continuing to send paintings to exhibitions in Pest. His practice also included biblical and mythological compositions.
The Liechtenstein collections hold two revealing formats: Italian Landscape in the Evening Sun, an oil on canvas signed in Rome in 1837, and a tiny Italian Landscape, painted in oil on cardboard and measuring roughly six by nine centimetres. The former connects its motif with light and place; the latter condenses Arcadian space. Italian Classical Landscape, held by Amgueddfa Cymru, also records this orientation. Together, these works demonstrate the importance of composed landscape within his painting.
This profile brings together identity references for Károly Markó and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
