Item Description

An unusual art stamp by German artist Franz von Stuck (1863-1928) produced for the Berlin Olympics that never took place! In 1892 Stuck co-founded the Munich Secession. In 1893 Stuck was awarded a gold medal for painting at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago as well as being appointed to a royal professorship. In 1895 he began teaching painting at the Munich Academy. Stuck was ennobled on December 9, 1905 and went on to receive further public honours from around Europe during the remainder of his life. His students over the years included Paul Klee, Hans Purrmann, Wassily Kandinsky, Alf Bayrle and Josef Albers.
