Anthonore Christensen (b. Copenhagen 1849, d. Usserød 1926)

A blooming lemontree. Signed with monogram and dated Syracus 1872. Oil on canvas laid on cardboard. 28×35 cm.

The flower artist Anthonie Eleonore (Anthonore) Tscherning was taught by her mother, Eleonore Tscherning, and later by Emma Thomsen and O. D. Ottesen, all of whom were floral artists. After her marriage to the philologist, Richard Christensen, in 1871 she is known as Anthonore Christensen. She went on several study tours to Italy, including Sicily og Syracuse, Schwitzerland, Germany, Paris and Greece, and she, herself, later taught members of the Danish and Greek royal family the art of painting.

Anthonore Christensen's motifs of forest beds and wild flowers growing in a field are often characterized by a natural, less atificial expression than the opulent bouquets and the decorative cut flowers displayes on stone sills, we see in works by earlier floral painters.
