WOMEN IN THE FINE ARTS


she was later specially invited to send to an exhibition in Liverpool, and several other exhibits.

The last two years she has exhibited in Ireland only, as her commissions employ her time so fully that she cannot prepare for foreign expositions.

Freyberg, Baroness Marie Electrine. Elected to the Academy of St. Luke, 1822. Born in Strassburg. 1797-1847. Daughter and pupil of the landscape painter, Stuntz. After travelling in France and Italy, making special studies in Rome, she settled in Munich. She painted historical and religious subjects, and a few portraits. "Zacharias Naming the Little St. John " is in the New Picture Gallery, Munich; in the same gallery is also a portrait called the "Boy Playing a Flute"; in the Leuchtenberg Gallery, Petersburg, is her " Three Women at the Sepulchre." She painted a picture called the "Glorification of Religion through Art "and a "Madonna in Prayer." She also executed a number of lithographs and etchings.

Friedländer, Camilla. Born in Vienna, 1856. She was instructed by her father, Friedrich Friedlander. Among her numerous paintings of house furniture, antiquities, and dead animals should be especially mentioned her picture in the Rudolfinum at Prague, which represents all sorts of drinking-vessels, 1888. Some critics affirm that she has shown more patience and industry than wealth of artistic ideas, but her still-life pictures demanded those qualities and brought her success and artistic recognition.

Friedrich, Caroline Friederike. Born in Dresden. 1749-1815. Honorary member of Dresden Academy.
