Agnes Lunn
Agnes Cathinka Wilhelmine Lunn (16 March 1850 - 12 December 1941) was a Danish painter and sculptor.[1] Lunn was born as a daughter to Villars Knudsen L. and Frederikke Amalie Hagen at Rønnebæksholm. She drew horses as a child and was fascinated by the form and movements of animals, leading her to the art of sculpture. A spinster, she died at Sønder Jernløse in 1941.[1]
She was a student of F. C. Lund and Otto Bache in Denmark. She also studied in Paris under J.-L. Gérôme, Leon Bonnat, and J. Bastien-Lepage. She attended the art school for women at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and travelled to Paris, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Iceland.[1]
Lunn has exhibited her works at, e.g., the spring exhibition at Charlottenborg, at the Women's Exhibition in Copenhagen and at the national exhibition in Aarhus.[1]
Among her sculptures, Hamlette (bronze statuette, 1899), Two Swimming Horses (bronze statuette, 1906, David Collection), and Resting Cow (1913, the Museum at Sønderborg Castle) could be mentioned.[1]
