EDGAR MEYER
Edgar Meyer (1853–1925) was an Austrian painter who built himself a castle and engaged in politics
Meyer's preferred medium was watercolour and his impressionist styled landscapes, mountain scenes and castles were popular, particularly in Germany where they sold well. Meyer's paintings can be found at the Tiroler Landesmuseum (Ferdinandeum), Innsbruck and in private collections around the world. Towards the end of the nineteenth century the progression of Revolutionary Art caused his work to lose favour and he returned to the Tyrol.
He died at Aldrans near Innsbruck on 21 February 1925, aged 71.
