Marie Egner
Marie Egner (1850–1940) was an Austrian painter known for her delicate and lyrical landscapes, as well as her floral still lifes. Born in Bad Radkersburg, Austria, Egner studied under prominent landscape artist Carl Wurzinger in Graz before continuing her education in Düsseldorf and Munich. Egner's style was deeply influenced by the Austrian school of realism, but her works also incorporated elements of Impressionism, particularly in her handling of light and color. She became a prominent figure in the Austrian art scene and was one of the few women to gain recognition in the male-dominated world of 19th-century European art.
Egner exhibited her works widely, including at the Vienna Secession and in other major European art capitals. Her art remains an important contribution to Austrian landscape painting, and her works are held in collections such as the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna. She was also an advocate for women’s rights and a member of the Austrian Association of Women Artists.
