Erich Mercker b1891 Embellished Print Bay Of Monaco

Erich Mercker 1891-1973 Print View Of Monaco Huge Oil Embellished Textured Painting.
Huge Textured Oil Embellished Print ( looks like a real oil painting ) in a loose style depicting a Mediterranean view out to sea of the bay of MONACO.
Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco, is a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Riviera a few kilometres west of the Italian region of Liguria, in Western Europe, on the Mediterranean Sea. It is a semi-enclave bordered by France to the north, east and west
Good quality heavy swept frame with gilt finish
The picture is signed in the bottom left corner and appears to read E.Mercker .
This picture looks like the original and comes across as very period and authentic with an excellent imitation oil painted finish.
ABOUT ARTIST
German artist Erich Mercker is known predominantly for his detailed and effusive works of industrial scenes.
Mercker was born in a German occupied province of France. His father was a military officer, and as a result Mercker became aware from an early age the issues of national pride and loyalty. Mercker also spent some time as a child in the industrial town of Mentz, a setting which would instil in him a life-long fascination with the mechanical and humans lives of industrial towns.
It was the family’s move to Munich, however, that really kicked into gear Mercker’s artistic interest. Munich was the centre of artistic passion and power in Germany and must have provided ample encouragement for Mercker. He did not, however, attend any art schools or receive any formal education. Instead, Mercker trained as a civil engineer.
Whilst increasing his technical knowledge of machinery, this seems to have also roused his artistic predilections further. Mercker could no longer ignore it: painting was the profession for him, and industrial scenes were his desired subjects. Although predominantly self-taught, Mercker did receive some tutelage from Martin Körte, a painter in Berlin.
He divined much inspiration, however, from the work of the impressionists and from the French Barbizon School. Both were preoccupied with painting from nature and imbuing those paintings with an emotional vein forming the heart of the piece.
Mercker infused his works with this same approach both emotionally and physically, utilising loose brush strokes and palette knives to create dramatic slashes of colour. Emotionally he approached industrial scenes of brutal metal and smoggy skies with the same reverence other painters afforded to nature. The burning heat of a furnace produces skies alight with burnished yellow flame as if at sunset.
Mercker was also, however, extremely strict about technical accuracy, something clearly inspired by his engineering training. This was not to say, though, that his paintings lost any of their emotional pull. The crux, for him, was the balance between artistic expression and technical coherency.
‘Just as a painter of the human figure absolutely must master the anatomy of the human body, the painter of technical subject matter can only fulfil his task properly, if he not only sees his subject with an artistic eye, but also with technical understanding,’ Mercker stated.
This attention to detail means there is a coherency to his works which even the mechanically illiterate eye can appreciate.
