Margareta Haverman

Margareta Haverman ( married Mondoteguy; * 1693 [baptized October 28, 1693] in Breda , † probably in France after 1739) was a Dutch flower and still life painter.

Life

Magarethe Haverman was born in Breda in 1693 to Margaretha Schellinger and Daniel Haverman and was baptized Lutheran on October 28th of that year . Her father was a captain in the Danish army and later opened a "school for young men" in Amsterdam, so that in 1703 the family left Breda.

Through her father's intervention, she managed to become the only student of the well-known still life painter Jan van Huysum , of whose work she made copies. A Dutch art lexicon from 1751 reports (and Thieme-Becker follows this account) that she was so talented that van Huysum soon tried several times to get rid of her because she threatened to outstrip him. Due to an unspecified scandal that "drove her father to the grave and the whole family to ruin" - possibly a love affair - she finally had to leave the apprenticeship. She married the widowed architect and businessman Jacques de Mondoteguy in Amsterdam and moved with him to Paris, where she was admitted to the Académie in early 1722 on the basis of a flower and fruit still life she presented . Since she apparently could not produce any other picture afterwards, she was suspected of having passed a picture by van Huysum as her own and was released in 1823.

The rest of her life is documented in the French art encyclopedia Bénezit , as a result of which she moved with her husband to his home town of Bayonne . After Mondoteguy's death in 1739, she and her children left Bayonne. Her death is believed to be after that date, but it is not known where or when she died. Bénézit mentions other sources that give different dates: Christian Kramm (?? De ?? levens en works of the hollandsche en vlaamsche kunstschilders, beeldhouwers, graveurs en bouwmeesters) reports that she was still alive in 1750. Bryan's dictionary of painters and engravers incorrectly names 1720 as the date of birth and an improbable 1795 as the year of death.

plant

Only two signed works by Margareta Havermann have been reliably passed down to the present day, one of them in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and another in the Danish National Gallery . Other paintings are mentioned in older auction catalogs, but the complete oeuvre is likely to be quite small, even if other paintings are ascribed to it.

Remarks

↑ RKD mentions 1690 here, but since the date of baptism is mentioned in the Vrouwenlexikon, this date was chosen as the starting point.
↑ also: Scheffinger
↑ According to Thieme-Becker, she only married in Paris
↑ also: Mondotige, Monteguy
↑ The Dutch Institute for Art History (RKD) names Paris as a possible place of death and an earlier date of death, presumably because it is based on older Dutch lexicons. That would mean that she would have died shortly after being kicked out of the art academy at the age of 29.
