Lot 804: Eugen Quaglio, German 1857-1942- Northern European

Eugen Quaglio, German 1857-1942- Northern European village street scene; black crayon, watercolour and bodycolour, signed and dated 1914, 43x29cm. Note: The artist became court theatre painter and scenic designer in Berlin, 1891, a post he held until 1923. He carried on the family tradition of historical stage designs, above all in Richard Wagner productions. Although he was influenced by naturalism and verismo, his romanticizing productions were basically historical idylls.
