Hubert von Herkomer Livres

Hubert von Herkomer (1849-1914) was a German painter who was almost forgotten since he spent much of his life in England, having moved there at the age of eight. There, he became famous as a portrait painter, but he also directed a school for painting, and became a professor at the Royal Academy of Arts. He also worked as a musician, composer, director, set designer, actor, and architect. For his artistic achievements, he was knighted in 1899 in Bavaria and in 1907 in the UK. This book brings his lifetime accomplishments into the light.

The book focuses on the republishing of classic works from the early 1900s and earlier, which have become rare and costly.
