CARL VON MARR, American Artist

Carl Marr was born in Milwaukee in 1858, of German heritage. His skills were early recognized by his parents, and his father was also a craftsman. He set out to Germany to further his skills after a brief study with a local artist in his home state. He was quick to rise to the top of his skills. He was so popular in Germany that he would later be asked to be director of the school, which no doubt became a reason he remained there for the greater part of his life. He did come home for visits and in his later years he decided to make a big impression on the art world and for four years worked on his now-famous 'The Flagellants" painting, an epic portrayal of the plague that occurred in Italy in the centuries before. Carl von Marr was a master of all venues as we will see here.

You folks are doing a great service for those starved to see great art rarely shown. Thank you.

The Flagellants is actually at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend

AGAIN…just STUNNING how many superstar type talents get zero play in the art book world. Maybe it’s the over infatuation with the impressionist and subsequent modern art movements that cause this…but it’s still baffling. The titanic talent of the people you’re representing in your videos is astonishing. These people would be lost to time if not what you and a few others have decided to take on… exposing their work to a world wide audience. Well done!!! I can’t thank you enough for your work.

Of course, this is by design. Beauty and especially beautiful art (in any form) represents a threat to the "new" world order.

As much as I love those epic history paintings, it’s the simple sketches from life that really move me. Thanks for all these videos.

Beautifully presented and it’s interesting to know the background in which the artist developed. Exquisite is the exact word to describe Marr’s landscapes, captured the essence and feeling of the moment perfectly. Thank you.

I barely started watching the video and was stopped by the intro photo with the date “1860” and a background noise of a city with car horns honking. In 1860, there were no cars.
Okay, back to the video….

[@gammelllackinstitute]

Yes, we took liberties with the horns, but it got your attention Hopefully you didn't mind Thanks for your thoughts.
