Life

Elisabeth Strempel was born in Rostock in 1840 as the daughter of the professor, chief medical officer and founder of the Rostock university clinics , Carl Strempel and his wife Julie Elisabeth, née. Röper. She received her first lessons from the painter Paul Tischbein and the painter Minna Ziel in Rostock. In 1864 she went to Berlin and continued her education under the direction of Professors Gustav Graef and Gottlieb Biermann . In 1871 she won first prize at an exhibition in Berlin, after which she received a scholarship from Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg , which she used to study for six months in Dresden.

In the next few years she was back in Mecklenburg and was busy making portraits, which she carried out as oil paintings, charcoal drawings or pastels. In the autumn of 1874 she went to Italy, stayed for a long time in Florence and Rome and then was in Sicily for seven months. In Messina she painted several portraits. After staying in Italy for 20 months, she returned to Germany. In 1878 further studies took her to Paris and Venice.
