Life

Emilie Mundt: Efter hjemkomsten , 1892/93

Emilie Mundt was the daughter of the lecturer and later titular professor of mathematics at the Sorø Akademi on the Danish island of Zealand, Carl Emil Mundt (1802–1873), in turn the son of a goldsmith. The mother, Caroline (Amalie) Jørgensen (1808–1845), died when Emilie was only three years old. As a result, Carl Mundt moved with Emilie and her sister Jacobine (1840–1914) from Sorø to Copenhagen, where the two attended Nathalie Zahle's private school (N. Zahles Skole). Emilie passed an exam as a private teacher in 1861 and - supported by her drawing teacher Frederik Ferdinand Helsted - was finally employed as a writing and drawing teacher at the school. Her colleagues included the flower painter Christine Løvmand (1803–1872) and Henriette Skram (1841–1929). Only at the age of 30 did Emilie Mundt completely switch to painting by enrolling at Vilhelm Kyhn's private drawing and painting school for women (Tegneskolen for Kvinder) and with the portrait and genre painter Jørgen Roed (1808–1888). Took lessons. Her fellow student, who later became women's rights activist Marie Luplau (1848–1925), became her lifelong partner. After they were denied admission to the Copenhagen Art Academy in 1875, the two women went to Munich for eight months in 1875/76 and, among other things, educated themselves through studies based on the living model among the Scandinavian artists, including the Norwegian painter Eilif Peterssen (1852–1928) continued. With Marie Luplau, Emilie Mundt opened a drawing and painting school for women in 1878, which she led until 1912. Her students included Emilie Demant Hatt (1873-1958), Astrid Valborg Holm (1876-1937) and Olivia Holm-Møller (1875-1970). From 1882 to 1884 she stayed in Paris, worked with Raphael Collin and Gustave Courtois (1852-1923) at the Académie Colarossi and was mainly influenced by the naturalistic works of the painters Jules Breton and Jules Bastien-Lepage . From Paris she visited Brittany; In 1891 she traveled again to Paris, in 1912 to Italy and Switzerland. She was vehemently committed to giving women access to the art academy, which she was able to achieve in 1888. When the Danish Association of Women Artists (Kvindelige Kunstneres Samfund) was founded in 1916, it was one of its first members.

In 1891 Emilie Mundt and Marie Luplau adopted a daughter, whom they named Carla Mundt-Luplau (* 1890). Guests in her house in Frederiksberg included the actress Andrea Lamberth (* 1853) and the photographer Mary Steen (1856–1939).
