Carl von Marr (1958-1936)

Carl von Marr (February 14, 1858 – July 10, 1936), American painter, was born at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of an engraver, John Marr. He was a pupil of Henry Vianden in Milwaukee, of Martin Schauss in Weimar, of Gussow in Berlin, and subsequently of Otto Seitz, and Gabriel and Max Lindenschmitt in Munich.

His first work, Ahasuerus, the Wandering Jew, received a medal in Munich. One of his pictures, Episode of 1813, is in the Royal Hanover Gallery, and his Germany in 1806 received a gold medal in Munich and is in the Royal Academy of Koenigsberg. A large canvas The Flagellants, now on loan to the West Bend Art Museum, West Bend, Wisconsin, from the permanent collection of the City of Milwaukee, received a gold medal at the Munich Exposition in 1889, a gold medal at the International Exhibition, Berlin in 1890 and a gold medal at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Another canvas, Summer Afternoon, originally from the Phoebe Hearst collection, now in the permanent collection of the University of California, Berkeley, received a gold medal in Berlin, in 1892.

Marr became a professor in the Royal Academy, Munich in 1893 and Director in 1919, and in 1895 a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts.
