Marie Ellenrieder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anna Marie Ellenrieder (March 20, 1791 - June 5, 1863) was a German painter.
She was born in Konstanz, Germany, the daughter of Konrad and Anna Maria Herrmann, and the granddaughter of Franz Ludwig Herrmann.
She studied under the miniature painter Joseph Einsle. Her portraits, similar in style to the ones of Angelica Kauffman, made her the first woman to enter the Academy of Munich.
She spent the time between 1822 and 1824 in Rome. After this journey, she started painting religious topics such as "Christ Blessing Little Children" and "Mary and the Infant Jesus." She died in her home town of Konstanz.
