Magdalena Margaretha Tischbein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magdalena Margaretha Tischbein (married Strack; born April 22, 1763 in Hamburg ; † April 25, 1846 in Oldenburg ) was a flower painter from the Lübeck branch of the Tischbein family of artists .

She was the daughter of the Hamburg landscape painter Magdalena Gertrud (née Lilly) and Johann Jacob Tischbein , the so-called Lübeck Tischbein . Her older sister was Sophie Margarete Antoinette Tischbein , her younger brother August Tischbein . Like her siblings, she was trained in painting by her mother and father. On November 3, 1795, she married her cousin Ludwig Philipp Strack , who shortly thereafter became an Oldenburg court landscape painter. She gave birth to five children when she was over 30 years old.

In Füssli's general artist lexicon, it is said that she “should also have had talents for painting […] It is not said here whether she really did such. Newer handwritten messages want to know that, like her sister Antonia, she [has] painted flowers from nature ”. Little is known about her pictures; some assumptions about the identification and whereabouts of individual works were made in 2016 in an exhibition publication edited by Martina Sitt .
