Marie Röhrs
Marie Röhrs (also: Marie Dorothea Röhrs ; born October 2, 1820 in Hanover ; † January 9, 1919 in Zurich ) was a German-Swiss portrait , history and genre painter .
Life
Marie Dorothea Röhrs was born in Hanover in 1820. There she received her first artistic lessons from the painter Burchard Giesewell . She later went to Paris , where she studied with Léon Cogniet before working in Rome from 1857 to 1866 . During this time she painted the portrait of the Jewish scholar Salomon Ludwig Steinheim there in 1859 . From 1866 Röhrs worked again in Hanover before moving to Zurich in 1891. In the same year she left a female study head to the association for the public art collection for the Städtische Galerie Hannover , which was shown posthumously in 1932 in the great anniversary exhibition for the centenary of the Kunstverein Hannover .
Röhrs had acquired the painting Das Gastmahl des Agathon by Anselm Feuerbach in 1869 at the international art exhibition in Munich. In 1886 she informed Henriette Feuerbach that she wanted to sell the painting. Karl Stauffer wrote this about the possibility of acquiring the painting. Stauffer then wrote a letter to Röhrs on December 2, 1886, informing her that he would like to purchase the painting from her for an unnamed friend and his intended art collection. Since the sale did not take place, it came into the possession of the gallery of the Grand Duke of Baden whose director Wilhelm Lübke was.
