Louise Danse, daughters of Auguste Danse

Mme. Destrée-Danse and Mlle. Louise Danse, daughters of Auguste Danse, the engraver, have revealed themselves worthy of their father's high gifts. Mlle. Wesmael, in some remarkable landscapes, and Mme. Marie Durand, who has done some interesting heads, both prove that in Auguste Danse the teacher is fully worthy of the artist. oil paintings for sale
With regard to Mlle. Alix d'Anethan, C. Lemonnier, in his "History of Belgian Fine Art," writes in the following terms:—"In the Antwerp Salon of 1882 were two canvases by Mlle. d'Anethan, L'affiche andL'Enfant malade, which had the freshness and the limpidity of Chardin, with a grace, a delicacy of touch, a feminine sense revealing the teaching of that most imperious of masters, Alfred Stevens." Mlle. Berthe Art, too, followed this prodigious master painter. She has made her position by means of pastels which, while preserving their natural charm, have all the solidity of oil-paintings. canvas paintings for sale
Mlle. Marie Antoinette Marcotte at first devoted herself to the representation of the life of the poor. Since then, however, she has created an altogether original genre, which has won for her many a success—the painting of glass-house interiors. She was "coached" by Emile Claus, the landscapist, among whose pupils were Mme. de Weert and Mlle. Montigny. abstract oil paintings
The number of women painters is ever on the increase. There were as many as thirty-nine represented at the Brussels Salon of 1848, while at the last Brussels Salon in 1903, they were more than a hundred; and to close this rapid survey of feminine art in Belgium, I may record a success of another kind. In 1904, Mlle. L. Brohée, after the various eliminating trials, found herself among the half-dozen artists permitted to take part in the final examination for the Prix de Rome.
Machteld van Lichtenberg, wife of Egbert van Boecop, is the first name of a Dutch woman painter given in Siret's "Historical Dictionary." She was born at Utrecht, of noble family, and made a speciality in portrait painting. Her name is mentioned by J. van Beverwyck. Her daughter Cornélie also took up painting, and died at a great age in 1629. abstract art oil paintings

Marguerite Godewyck, of Dordrecht (1627-1677), was styled a "second Anne Schurman." She was one of the most learned women of her time, and was further surnamed "La Perle de la Jeunesse de Dordrecht," and "La Fleur du Paradis des Arts et des Sciences." She specialised in portrait painting. Judith Leyster, of Haarlem, likewise enjoyed great fame. From the year 1613 she was a member of the Guild of St. Luke, of Haarlem. In 1635 she had a pupil,original oil paintings wholesale, Guillaume Wauters by name, who on leaving her entered the studio of Franz Hals. She was married at Heemstede on the 1st of June, 1636, to the painter Jean Molenaer, also a native of Haarlem. She is eulogistically mentioned by Th. Schrevelius, the historian of Haarlem, who describes her as a famous woman, justly, as he remarks, called "the true guide in the arts"—(de Ware Leyster in de Konst), her name Leyster signifying 'Guide.' She died in 1660.
