Product information "August Macke: Picture 'Inner courtyard of the country house in St. Germain' (1914), framed"

Paul Klee, Louis Moilliet and August Macke's trip to Tunis made art history: Under the African sun, they revolutionised their painting style, found countless motifs in the winding alleyways and explored the themes of form and colour in a new way. Their first stop was the villa district of St Germain, now known as Ez-Zahra near Tunis. Ernst Jäggi, a doctor friend of Molliet's, lived here. His house still stands today. And even today, a century after the legendary journey, Macke's Tunis paintings bear witness to his painterly genius. 'Courtyard of the country house in St Germain' (1914): A selected work from the last and strongest period of Macke's artistic oeuvre. Original: 1914, watercolour and pencil on paper, Städtisches Kunstmuseum, Bonn. Limited edition of 1,000 copies. The motif was elaborately reproduced on 225g genuine laid paper with embossing. Framed in solid wood moulding. Format 38 x 33 cm (H/W).
