Provenance: Jasper52, New York, NY, United States, September 13, 2022, lot 9. Anton Romako is an Austrian, German artist, known for Portrait, history, allegory and landscape painting. Romako painted a large number of landscape scenes, influenced by the Barbizon school, but is known mostly for his portraits and historical scenes. His early works display the influence of Biedermeier realism, while the late works are painted in a nervous expressionist style which disturbed his contemporaries. More than a decade passed before his works were reconsidered and appreciated. One of a kind artwork.
