Max Weyl (1837 - 1914) American - Max Weyl (1837 - 1914) Oil on Canvasboard, Signed, Measures ( 12 x 20 inches ) w/frame ( 15 x 22 inches ) The story of Max Weyl's life includes his evolution from a watchmaker too shy to hang his paintings in his own shop window, to finally doing so, and having a major collector see the work and buy it, thus launching the artist in Washington, D.C. But, in the end, Weyl would begin to copy his own, too successful landscapes. Essentially self-taught, Weyl would draw on three major influences in his art, from Hudson River School through Barbizon School to the American painter George Inness. Born near Wurttemberg, Germany in Muhlen-am-Neckar in 1837, Weyl was a watchmaker's apprentice there, eventually opening his own jewelry store in 1861 in Washington after emigrating to the United States.
