Ernestine Friedrichsen (born June 29, 1824 in Danzig ; † July 21, 1892 in Düsseldorf ) was a German genre painter .

Life

Ernestine Friedrichsen came from Danzig. It is not known about the first years of her life. She took her first private art lessons with the Düsseldorf painter Marie Wiegmann in portraiture in the 1850s. Then she became a student of Wilhelm Sohn and learned genre painting from Rudolf Jordan . She went on study trips to Holstein , Bavaria and the Masuria . She also visited Holland , Belgium , England and Italy several times , where she found inspiration for her pictures. She was particularly drawn to the Masurian landscape and its inhabitants. The rebellious Poles and Polish Jews also formed motifs in their work.

Her oil painting Hüttendorf wandering Polish raftsmen on the Vistula was shown for the first time in 1861 at the Dresden Academic Art Exhibition. Then she took part in various art exhibitions organized by the art association for the Rhineland and Westphalia . She had her studio from 1867 until her death in house Wehrhahn 9, in the Jordan house. In 1869 she created one of her most successful portraits (Rudolf Jordan). She was a member of the Association of Berlin Women Artists, founded in 1867 . Kaiser Wilhelm bought her picture Sommerlust in 1884 . Her works had also become collector's items outside of Germany. She was represented at exhibitions with her paintings in Dresden , Berlin , Munich , Hamburg and Düsseldorf .

“The value of her pictures, namely the atmospheric pictures from the life of the Masurians, Polish raftsmen and others, lies in the delicacy of the sensation with which the artist was able to grasp and reproduce these allegations from popular life, the simplicity and truth of the expression and their subtle painterly treatment "

- Düsseldorfer Volkszeitung from July 23, 1892.

After her death, Jaarstick-Luck made a wood engraving in 1892 , entitled: Friedrichsen, Ernestine. Genre painter, b. on June 29, 1824 in Danzig .
