Her parents were Wilhelm Arnhard, magazine administrator in Munich, and Anna Arnhard, geb. Lenck from Augsburg .

Arnhard studied at the Royal Art School in Munich. She then attended studio lessons with the court painter Julius Lange (1817–1878) and Franciszek Streitt (1839–1890). From 1880 to 1885 she worked as a landscape painter in Munich.

1885 Arnhard married Johann Wunibald Deininger ( Regierungsrat , architect , Tyrolean public curator , initiator and director of the Innsbruck kkStaatsgewerbeschule ) and moved to Innsbruck. They settled in Innsbruck- Wilten , Franz-Fischer-Strasse 9. The artist also devoted herself to landscape painting in Innsbruck . In many cases she assisted her husband in topographical and art-historical studies throughout Tyrol. Her art, however, towered sky high over the dry, school-like depictions of her husband.

reception

Her works are mainly composed of depictions of landscapes from the Tyrolean and Bavarian regions. Rural interiors in oil and watercolor were also among her favorite works. She developed a particular interest in depictions from the Ötztal . According to her own information, she has painted more than 1,000 large-format oil paintings. These are located in various cities in Germany, Tyrol, Vienna, Paris, Holland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and North America.

The first solo exhibition by an artist in the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum was dedicated to Arnhard-Deininger . Further exhibitions at home and abroad followed. A series of her Tyrolean landscape paintings appeared as colored postcards in the lithographic institution Redlich.

From 1906 Arnhard-Deininger ran a painting school for women in Innsbruck , the success of which was first exhibited with recognition in 1907.
