Female artists in Berlin around 1800
This compact exhibition showcases female students and the daughters of the artist – their lives, works and personal stories.
The graphic artist Daniel Chodowiecki (1726–1801) was one of the best-known artists of his time. To mark the 300th anniversary of his birth, this exhibition focuses not only on his masterpieces, but also on the women in his circle, who were long overlooked.
On display are works by his daughters and female pupils, who fought to carve out a place for themselves in the art world around 1800 – at a time when women had very few opportunities to pursue artistic careers. As their art teacher, Daniel Chodowiecki gave them the freedom to express their creativity. A regular academic art exhibition also offered them the chance to present their works to the public.
Through drawings and prints, the exhibition tells a story of talent, training and perseverance. It reveals how these Berlin-based female artists worked, what obstacles they had to overcome, and why they are being rediscovered today.
With works by: Suzette Henry, Louis Claude, Henriette Le Coq, Manon Hainchelin, Antoinette und Henriette Félicité Tassaert, Daniel Chodowiecki und Anton Graff.
A cooperation with the Art Collection of the Berlin Academy of Arts
The cabinet exhibition forms part of the cross-collection and cross-national collaborative project ‘Chodowiecki 300’, marking the 300th anniversary of Daniel Chodowiecki’s birth.
