CARL O'LYNCH OF TOWN (Ljubljana 1869 - 1942 Genova) Summer evening on Sylt oil/canvas 60 x 70 cm signed O'Lynch verso titled Sommerabend auf Sylt SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 500 - 800 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 500 Carl O'Lynch of Town was an Austrian-German impressionist artist. He came from an Irish patrician family. His ancestors came to Austria at the end of the 17th century. From 1888 to 1890, O'Lynch of Town attended the Graz Drawing Academy, then he studied at the Vienna Art Academy with Siegmund L'Allemand and at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts with Gabriel von Hackl and Nicholas Gysis. In 1904 he exhibited oil paintings in Graz at the 5th annual exhibition of the Association of Fine Artists of Styria. Although the artist had his headquarters in Munich, he regularly attended exhibitions in Vienna and Graz. He was under the influence of Emil Jakob Schindler and his circle. From 1904 to 1906 Lynch of Town was a member of the Hagenbund. In 1908 he received the Grand Austrian State Medal and in 1929 the Golden Medal of the City of Graz. Study trips took him to Italy, Holland, Belgium, southern England and the North and Baltic Seas. As a landscape painter, he primarily preferred the sea and its coastal regions as his subjects. During his stay in the Dachau artists' colony, his love for the high mountains awoke, which became the decisive theme of his late period: he found his motifs in the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. Alongside Alfred Zoff and Eduard Ameseder, Carl O'Lynch of Town is also considered one of the most important Styrian artists of the turn of the century. His style is reminiscent of Max Liebermann's. Those of his works that are not privately owend are in various European museums (including Neue Pinakothek Munich, Austrian Gallery Belvedere Vienna, Neue Galerie Graz, Leopold Hoesch Museum Düren).
