Christine Løvmand
Christine Marie Løvmand (19 March 1803 – 10 April 1872) was a Denmark, Danish artist who specialized in paintings of flowers and still lifes. She was one of the few women at the time who gained recognition as a painter. Biography As a child, Løvmand helped her sick mother look after the five children in the family. When her father died in 1826, she resolved to work hard to support the family. From 1824, both Christine and her sister Frederikke started to have painting and drawing lessons with the flower painter Johannes Ludvig Camradt. In 1827, the two sisters began to exhibit at Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition. From 1831 to 1834, Christine was one of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg's students. The lessons were held on Sundays, probably because it was not possible for the professor to include her in his classes with male students.
