Markò Andreas (c. 1824-1895), The Shepherd's Family in the Apennines, oil on canvas, signed lower right and dated 1878

Width 70 cm, height 86 cm. Like his father, Carlo sr Markò, and his brother, Carlo jr Markò, Andreas must be considered Italian due to his long stay in Florence, his adopted homeland. As a landscape painter, his canvases depicting locations in Italy and Russia were particularly admirable, reproduced with vigorous technique and color. He was awarded prizes in Florence in 1860 and at the International Exhibition in Vienna in 1873, and he sold his Italian landscapes primarily in America. He taught at the Academies of Milan, Urbino, and Florence, initiating a generation of young artists into art...
