Bertha Nicoline Tuxen (born November 14, 1847 in Copenhagen ; † April 5, 1931 in Frederiksberg ) was a Danish still life and portrait painter .

Life

Nicoline Tuxen was a daughter of the naval officer and director of Orlogsværftet Nicolai Elias Tuxen (1810-1891) and his wife Bertha Laura Giødvad (1815-1908). Her younger brother was the sculptor and painter Laurits Tuxen . Since women were not allowed to study at the Danish Art Academy before 1888, she took lessons from Vilhelm Kyhn at his private drawing school for women (Tegneskolen for Kvinder), which existed between 1865 and 1895. Several trips for study purposes later took her to Paris. For her work she was awarded the Neuhausenschen Premium (De Neuhausenske Præmier) in 1891 and an academy scholarship in 1893.

From the mid-1880s onwards, Nicoline Tuxen's works were regularly represented at the renowned Charlottenborg “Forårsudstilling” (spring exhibition) in Copenhagen. Further exhibitions with her participation were the world exhibition Chicago in 1893, in Antwerp in 1894 and the Nordic art exhibition in Lübeck in 1895. She mainly painted flower pictures and still lifes, in later years also portraits. Her works bear the unmistakable stamp of the Golden Age of Danish painting.

Nicoline Tuxen remained unmarried, she died at the age of 84 in Frederiksberg and was buried at Holmens Kirkegaard in Copenhagen.
