Marianne Kürzinger

Marianne Kürzinger (1770, Munich – 1809) was a German painter. She was the daughter and pupil of Franz Kürzinger, and was further instructed by Johann Jakob Dorner the Elder. She became so accomplished an artist that the nickname of "The Bavarian Angelica Kauffmann" was given to her.[1] Kauffman was an Austrian born artist who became a leading artist in Britain.[2] Kürzinger married the actor and singer Johann Kunz of Munich, and died in 1809. Her best paintings include:[1]

  • A Circassian Girl brought before the Sultan
  • Circassian Girl dressed by a Woman
  • Death of the first French Grenadier, La tour d'Auvergne
  • Christ on the Mount of Olives
