Marianne von Eschenburg

Marianne von Eschenburg (Vienna, 18 April 1856 - Vienna, 28 October 1937) was an Austrian painter best known for her portraits. She worked in Vienna at a time when women painters were gradually gaining a public presence in the city's art scene.

She was a student of her uncle, the painter Karl von Blaas, and continued her training in Paris under Carolus-Duran, Henri-Jean Guillaume Martin and Elisa Koch. She exhibited at the Salzburger Kunstverein and the Vienna Künstlerhaus, and was a founding member of the Acht Künstlerinnen (Group of the Eight Artists) in Vienna. Her work was also shown at the Woman's Building during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

Among her recorded works are a Portrait of Professor Alexander Kolisko (1900), Portrait of a Girl (1890) and Young Girl with Red Headscarf (1891), as well as an Atelier of the painter Olga Wisinger-Florian (1926). Her legacy rests mainly on her portraits and on her role within the group of Viennese women artists.
