In the venerable halls of art history, the name Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann echoes with a particular resonance. Born on November 21, 1819 in Warsaw, in the heart of the Russian Empire, this painter from the renowned Düsseldorf School of Painting masterfully wove the threads of her German-Danish heritage. Her works, which we reproduce with the utmost care in our art prints, are a tribute to her talent and passion.
Growing up in Gdansk and Jolibord, Elisabeth's artistic destiny did not reveal itself immediately. At nineteen, she emigrated to Düsseldorf after receiving a rejection letter in Berlin. She remained steadfast and would not be dissuaded from her artistic calling. With determination and talent, she became the first private student of Karl Ferdinand Sohn and Hermann Stilke. Her education led her down the path of portrait and history painting. Her studies resulted in impressive works that were deeply rooted in the socio-critical roots of her time, such as "The Polish Mother with Her Children" and "The Polish Family on the Ruins of Their House". These works, which we offer as art prints, are vivid testimonies to the turbulence of their era.
In 1845, Elisabeth embarked on a journey to Rome, where she met and married her soul mate, Danish sculptor Jens Adolf Jerichau. In their shared studio, she sketched Rome's vibrant folk life and colorful Italian Carnival with the passion and accuracy we strive to preserve in our fine art prints. Despite the challenges she faced in Denmark, Elisabeth was tirelessly productive, creating numerous portraits of notable figures and eventually gaining the recognition she deserved. Her fascinating travels to the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean gave her access to the harems of the Ottoman Empire, where she captured the oriental settings of harem life in stunning images.
The story of Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann is one of perseverance and dedication, reflected in every brushstroke of her art. Our goal as a manufacturer of high quality fine art prints is to continue to tell this story and preserve the legacy of this extraordinary artist for future generations.
