ArchivesRe: unknown artist Illipoch/ Illi Poch
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Thanks.
Yes, I wonder if it's maybe an anagram / nickname or such like but the Italian idea doesn't match the landscape subject matter of the painting or the light quality (looks more like bright Scandinavian Springtime than Italian lakes)
Nothing useful on the back of the canvas. Good idea, pity.
Last point worth mentioning is that the letter p is a bit prominent. It does not seem to be a proper capital but is placed high up , (like an upside down lower case b but the tail is not "below the line" as usual). Deliberate rather than accidental. Is this a habbit in any particular county?
No space between the letter i and p so clearly reads as H. Illipoch but could be H. Illi Poch. Does that mean anything?
Surname Poch seems to exist.
Any other ideas.
