Log In. Female Artists in History's Post. Marianne von Werefkin Russian painter - Catalogue Note Lempertz autotranslated. The present painting may have been dedicated to the noble couple on horseback being received by messengers. Marianne von Werefkin, excellently trained in the naturalistic painting of the late 19th century, only found her way back to her own concentrated work in the later years of her life, when she had largely separated herself from the art world and severed her ties with Jawlensky.

The paintings of the s follow the expressionist beginnings, which is expressed particularly in the idiosyncratic colouring: her mountains - by no means portraits of the surrounding Alps - are, as in the present picture, often depicted with strong colours, among which yellow and a bright red stand out particularly conspicuously. The landscape, built up in an exciting way from large, contrasting round hills and steep mountain slopes with pointed peaks, forms the space for a social scene the arrival or ride of a couple on horseback.

The harmony in the sequence of the figures and landscape details lined up next to each other is broken up by the different colour treatments, with the red of the hunting skirts of the pair of riders forming the colouristic highlight and at the same time becoming important for the spatial development of the composition. The more graphic, brushstroke-like painting style of these pictures from the s also seems to be a late echo of the van Gogh experience of her early years.

Marianne von Werefkin was born in the Russian town of Tula as the daughter of the commander of the Ekaterinaburg Regiment. She had her first private academic drawing lessons at the age of fourteen. In , she became a student of Ilya Repin, the most important painter of Russian Realism. Her progress was dealt a setback by a hunting accident in in which she accidentally shot her right hand which remained crippled after a lengthy period of recovery.

By practicing persistently she finally managed to use drawing and painting instruments with her right hand again. For the sake of Jawlensky's painting, Werefkin interrupted her painting for almost ten years. She initiated a Salon in Munich which soon became a center of lively artistic exchange.
