Friederike Julie Lisiewska , also Friederike Juliane , Friedericke , Liszewska or Lisiewski (born December 26, 1772 in Dessau , † April 27, 1856 in Wismar ) was a German painter who worked in Berlin and West Mecklenburg.

Life

Friederike Julie Lisiewska was a daughter of the court painter in Dessau and Ludwigslust Christoph Friedrich Reinhold Lisiewsky (1725–1795) and thus a descendant of an 18th century family of artists in Prussia, Dessau and Mecklenburg. It grew from 1,778 in Ludwigslust , where her father court painter to the Dukes Frederick and I. Friedrich Franz was. As early as 1786 she made two pastel portraits of Duchess Luise . From 1792 onwards, a scholarship from the ducal couple enabled her to become a student of Bernhard Rode in Berlin .

A portrait of her father was so successful that she was accepted into the Prussian Academy of Arts on August 1, 1793 . Until 1810 she exhibited regularly at the exhibitions of the academy. At the end of 1794, after the death of her father, she completed the portrait he had begun of Duke Friedrich Franz. From 1797, a portrait of the Berlin theologian Johann Friedrich Zöllner was still preserved in the Berlin Marienkirche in 1929 . In 1802, after the death of Christian Ludwig Seehas , her father's successor , she applied for the position of court painter, but was informed that this position would not be filled again. At the turn of the year 1811/12 she sent a box of paintings to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in the hope that he could sell them to the Weimar court, which was not possible. As a painter she lived in Grevesmühlen with her sister from 1814 to 1836 and in Wismar from 1838 . She regularly sent paintings to the (grand) ducal court and received monetary gifts in return. In 1838 and 1840 she again took part in exhibitions at the Academy; During this time she mainly created genre pieces .

The pioneering portrait of her father went to the Prussian Academy of the Arts, of which her father had been an honorary member since 1783. A self-portrait by Friederike Julie (approx. 1820), which she showed at the academy exhibition in 1822, is in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg.
