Germán Gedovius

Gedovius was born in Mexico City in 1866[1] before moving as an infant with his family to San Luis Potosí.

When he was sixteen years old he returned to Mexico City to attend the Academy of San Carlos, where he was a pupil of Salomé Pina and Rafael Flores.

He moved to Munich, where he learned to draw with charcoal at the Royal Academy and restarted his painting classes.

Under the guidance of Master Herterich, he honed his drawing skills, and Wilhelm von Diez introduced him to color techniques.

Gedovius continued teaching classes, both in the Academy and in a private Studio until shortly before his death in May 1937 in Mexico City.
