Max Adamo (November 3, 1837, Munich - December 31, 1901, Munich) was a German historical painter and illustrator.
Life
Max Adamo was the son of the Ministerial Archivist Max Joseph Adamo. The genre painter Albert Adamo was his brother. After Adamo finished his schooling at a Munich gymnasium, he was accepted as a student at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in his hometown.
Initially, he studied under Hermann Anschütz and Philipp von Foltz. Under their guidance in the German National Museum, the fresco titled The Heyday of Nuremberg and Regensburg was created. Later, Adamo became a student of Karl Theodor von Piloty, and during this period, some of Adamo's most significant works were produced.
Adamo's roles included working as a historical and genre painter as well as an illustrator. He also taught drawing at the Realschule in Kaiserslautern and at the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich. He was a member of the Munich Artist Cooperative (MKG). Among his private students was Max von Schmaedel (1856–1939).[1]
