Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881)

Italienerinde på en altan. På karmen urtepotte med røde nelliker. 86×73. Samtidig bred forgyldt ramme rigt prydet med bladværk og ornamentik samt malerindens navn.

While studying in Düsseldorf Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann dreamt of Italy. 1845–1846 she left for Rome and met her future husband the sculptor Jens Adolf Jerichau. They married in 1846. Elisabeth spent long periods in their atelier in Rome, when she was not travelling. The Italian carnival was a very popular theme for the Danish painters both by the Golden Age painters and their followers. In this painting Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann was inspired by her Golden Age predecessors and their way of painting the Italians.
