Juliane Wilhelmine Bause (born July 4, 1768 in Leipzig ; † August 8, 1837 there ) was a German painter and engraver .

Life

Juliane Wilhelmine Bause was the younger of the two daughters of the Leipzig copperplate engraver Johann Friedrich Bause and his wife Henriette Charlotte nee. Brünner (1742-1818). From her father she learned drawing and the graphic techniques of etching and engraving . Through prominent visits to her father's studio, she met well-known intellectuals and artists such as Goethe , Schiller and Charlotte von Stein . Her sister Friederike Charlotte, who was two years older than her, was musically gifted, but died at the age of 19.

In 1792 Juliane Wilhelmine Bause married the Leipzig banker Carl Eberhard Löhr (1763-1813), who became the owner of Löhr's garden with the associated residential palace with the death of his father Eberhard Heinrich Löhr in 1798 . After her husband died in April 1813, she was expelled from her home in the same year by Jean Toussaint Arrighi de Casanova , the then French governor of Leipzig. She went to Weimar with her daughter Henriette, born in 1794, and her parents , where her father died a year later.

In Weimar, the daughter Henriette met the writer Johann Georg Keil , whom she married in 1814. In the same year the young couple and Juliane Wilhelmine returned to Leipzig, where they moved into the Löhr house again. In addition to his literary work, Keil restored and expanded the Löhrschen Garden, which was devastated during the Battle of the Nations , which was now called Keilscher Garten. He also managed the large collection of paintings that he had inherited from his paternal wife's grandfather, Eberhard Heinrich Löhr, and Johann Friedrich Bause's collection of graphics.

Juliane Wilhelmine Löhr died in Leipzig at the age of 69.

Juliane Wilhelmine Bause's creative period was short, as she practically ended her artistic activity in the first years of her marriage to Carl Eberhard Löhr. 1789–91 she etched a series of landscapes based on Dutch masters of the 17th century and Dutch contemporaries (Ferdinand Kobell, Johann Georg Wagner, Johann Samuel Bach), which, however, only found distribution in the form of private prints. There are also watercolors and drawings of his own motifs. Her preferred subject was landscapes. The Leipzig City History Museum owns nine of her drawings and etchings. Further works can be found in the Albertina in Vienna , the Hessen Kassel Museum Landscape , the Dresden State Art Collections and the Philadelphia Museum of Art .
