Julie Hamann (b. Copenhagen 1842, d. s.p. 1916)

Still life with a bouquet of flowers on a table. Signed and dated Julie Hamann 1899. Oil on canvas. 60×73.5 cm.

Julie Caroline Hamann was a student of C. Thørrestrup and subsequently, like many other female artists of her time, studied at Vilhelm Kyhn's Drawing School for Women. From 1879 to 1881, she studied in Paris under Tony Robert-Fleury (1837–1911). Hamann primarily exhibited still lifes with flowers, but she also worked on portraits and genre paintings.

Hamann exhibited for a number of years at Charlottenborg's Spring Exhibition, where she was mentioned for her painting “Iris and viburnum” by Marie Luplau in her review from 1893. Hamann was also represented at the Women Artists’ Retrospective Exhibition (Kvindelige Kunstneres Retrospektive Udstilling) in 1920 in Copenhagen.
