Max von Sury
Born in 1842.
Died in 1920.
Max von Sury was a landscape painter whose work testifies to a particular sensitivity to nature. He pursued artistic studies in Munich, Karlsruhe and Paris, major centres of art in the nineteenth century. His academic training in these cities undoubtedly influenced his style and technique, although the precise details of his oeuvre remain uncertain.
The landscapes he created reflect an approach that could be characterised by an attentiveness to nuances of light and to the composition of natural elements.
