Mary Louisa Kirschner (7 January 1852 – 30 June 1931) was a painter and glass artist.
Biography
Kirschner was born in Prague and first trained in Vienna with Anton Hansch and later with Adolf Heinrich Lier, under whom she showed her first works in Munich in 1871.[1] In 1873 she began making copies after Jules Dupré and that winter her family moved to Paris, where she met him in person.[1] When he saw her copies, he said "Jamais je n'ai été copié comme cela. J'aurais pu m'y trompera moi-même."[1] She was accepted as his only pupil. She returned to her family's home in the Czech countryside where she painted Polish oxen that were favorably received in London in the Aquarium, Westminster in 1876.[1]
In later life she became a glass artist, working mostly in the Jugendstil style. Kirschner died in Košátky.
