Biography
Biography
Later, he was joined there by his brothers, András and Ferenc. Among his works are depictions of the Valle di Quesa near the countryside by Pisa. While he was close with many of the Macchiaoli painters, his style seems to recall that of the Baroque painter Lorrain as well as painters of the School of Posillipo. Among his works are: La Brigata del Boccaccio; Veduta di Bella Riva; Le cave di Carrara; Paese in Corsica; I dintorni di Gaville; and Lungo l ' Arno. Some of his works, such as Christ in Emmaus and The Samaritan at the Well have figures in the scene dwarfed by the landscape, although the landscape itself commented on the events. Some of his works are on display in the Hungarian National Gallery. He was Professor of the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence, as well as in Genoa, Perugia, and Urbino. Among his pupils were Serafino De Tivoli, Adolfo Tommasi, Ulvi Liegi, and Domenico Bresolin. He later moved to Russia, possibly with a promise of employment (as Italian painters were very much in vogue there at the time) and died in Moscow.
The recorded working language is Hungarian. Subjects and genres recorded for the work are landscape. Work by Károly Markó the Younger is recorded in the collections of Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Slovak National Gallery, Hungarian National Gallery, Bratislava City Gallery and Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
