Abstract: This fine edition is the first major contribution dedicated to accomplished academic painter German Gedovius (b. Mexico 1867-1937) ignored by the critics and public and remembered only as the professor of noted Mexican painters like: Ángel Zárraga, Diego Rivera, Alberto Garduño, María Izquierdo and others. This comprehensive study presents a selection of his semi-Impressionist oeuvre strongly influenced by the Flemish baroque painting where he combined indigenous and European motifs and created in different periods of his life while providing a series of key elements for a better understanding of his art and its relationship with determinate aspect of the history of the Mexican culture.
