Life

Louise von Meyern-Hohenberg was a daughter of the castle captain in Coburg and later court marshal Justus Edmund Ferdinand von Meyern-Hohenberg († 1841). She received her artistic training in Munich , Weimar and Florence . She was a student of Louise Seidler . She was friends in Weimar with the painter Pauline Steinhäuser geb. Francke (1810-1866). As a painter, she created portraits in oils and miniatures. As a sculptor, she created portraits in marble in Florence, among others for members of the Württemberg court, which was closely connected to the Coburgs through Marie von Württemberg . In 1839 she drew a portrait of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha , which is now in the Royal Society of Arts . In 1842 a family picture of Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg was made. She also portrayed Walther von Goethe , Sulpiz Boisserée and Louise Seidler, for example . A self-portrait of her came from the Carl Vogel von Vogelstein collection to the Dresden Kupferstichkabinett in 1858 and is now lost.

Out of competition, she took part as a woman from Coburg in 1851 with a tabernacle at the first world exhibition in the Crystal Palace in London. Her reduction of the monument to Duke Ernst I on the Coburg Palace Square by Ludwig von Schwanthaler is shown in the Veste Coburg .
