Henry Markò, born in Florence in 1855, is a landscape and seascape painter of remarkable sensitivity, undoubtedly linked to the late nineteenth-century pictorial tradition with romantic hints.
A descendant of the pictorial dynasty headed by the Austrian Andrea Markò, he painted, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a series of works characterized by a skillful scenographic layout: rare seascapes of the Ligurian Riviera, luminous and very detailed in the execution, numerous wooded landscapes , sometimes enlivened by figures, 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, including, as reported some publications, the Ligurian painter Antonio Discovolo (1876-1956) without, however, remaining influenced from a pictorial point of view.
Most of his activity takes place in Tuscany, especially in Florence, where, moreover, Andrea Markò and Carlo Markò the younger, continued the landscape school founded by their father Carlo Markò the elder (1791-1860).
A school that at that time represented the most advanced pictorial instances in the field of modern landscape painting, before the advent of the "revolutionary" Tuscan Macchiaioli movement.
In fact, the work of Andrea and his disciples derived, in particular, from Arte del Calame and the Barbizon school.
Henry Markò, in the final part of his artistic career, moved permanently to Liguria, to Lavagna, where he favored a local landscape.
His works in numerous private collections, in Italy and abroad.
