Life
Amalie was the granddaughter of the Brunswick landscape painter Hans Heinrich Georg Brandes . She first attended the arts and crafts school in Braunschweig and from 1899 the so-called women's academy of the Munich artists' association . She was married to the Spanish military writer J. Lasalle y Boluda when she met the painter Rudolf Wilke , who was also from Braunschweig, in Munich . After the death of her first husband, she married Wilke in 1905, with whom she had the children Charlotte (1906–1982) and Ulfert (1907–1987). In 1908 her second husband also died and she returned to Braunschweig.
Here she worked as a painter and copyist for old masters . Together with Ehm Welk , she published the satirical magazine Eulenspiegel after 1918 . For these caricatures she made about the political situation in Germany, especially in Braunschweig. In order to earn something, she worked as a street seller of these magazines in Hanover. She then lived in Berlin for a few years before returning to Braunschweig in 1946. One of the pictures she copied was, for example, a portrait of Elisabeth Oberbüchler based on the original work by the French painter Antoine Pesne (1683–1757).
