Maria Delago

Everyday rustic scenes from the four seasons bring the Breakfast Room to life. We see peasants tilling the soil, harvesting hay and gathering grapes. In her ceramic reliefs, South Tyrolean sculptress Maria Delago (1902-1979) often recorded everyday cultural scenes from her region. Delago studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, and received the Walther von der Vogelweide award in 1964. Her work pays great attention to detail and is appealing in its simplicity and honesty.
