Luma VON FLESCH-BRUNNINGEN (1856-1934)
This woman painter was born Ludmilla Antonia Flesch von Brunningen in the Czech town of Brno. She studied in Brno, then in Vienna, capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the company of the painter Aloïs Schönn, she visited Italy (the inspiration for our painting) and Egypt. She also married a Hungarian painter, Karoly Csúzy. She also studied in Munich in 1887 and 1888, as aesthetic exchanges between Germany and the countries of Central Europe were highly developed at the time. She exhibited at Munich's Glass Palace from 1888 to 1924, as well as in Vienna, Paris, Budapest and the United States.
Our poetic painting is highly inspired by 15th- and 16th-century Italy, and owes much to her trip to Italy with the painter Schönn. Here, she uses a Mantegnesque architectural formula for the frame.
