About Georg Macco

  • Biography

    Georg Macco was born 1863 in Aachen. Like his great-granduncle, the portrait and history painter Alexander Macco, Georg decided to start a painting career and studied at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf between 1880 and 1887 under Eugen Gustav Dücker and Johann Peter Theodor Janssen. After he first painted alpine and Nordic landscapes, Macco undertook numerous journeys to the Orient, where he found inspiration and motifs for his paintings that eventually made him one of the most sought German Orient painters.
