About the Item

'Mother and Child' by Carel Eugene Mulertt, circa 1900, Académie Julien, Paris Salon, Amsterdam, Maternity, Infant ------- Signed lower left, 'Carel Mulertt' for Carel Eugene Mulertt (German-American, 1869-1915) and painted circa 1900. Displayed in the original and period, hand-carved giltwood frame. Born in Germany, Carel Mulertt moved to New York in 1881 and, in 1893, to Paris where he attended the Académie Julien. For several years, he studied with some of France's most prominent genre and figure painters, including Benjamin Constant, William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Jean-Paul Laurens. During this period, he exhibited widely and with success including at the Paris Salons (1893-95, 1898-99) where he showed numerous figural works and coastal scenes. After marrying into a Dutch family and settling in Holland, Mulertt began to specialize in the scenes of maternity and childhood for which he is now chiefly known. These atmospheric works were painted in soft focus with a gentle palette and Mulertt often invested his closely-observed figures with an unusual degree of psychological penetration. In this lyrical example, the artist has illuminated the eternal bonds of love that bind the mother to her infant child.

Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Initialed lower right, 'A.E.M' for Anna Elisabeth Munch (Danish, 1876-1960) and painted circa 1940. This notable Danish Modernist first studied with Karl Jensen (1889) and C. N. Overgaard (1891–1892). She later traveled and studied in Italy and, subsequently, at the Académie Julian under Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. After her return to Denmark, Munch became a student of the Impressionist Julius Paulsen (1895-1897) and made her début at the 1898 Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition. Munch became the first Danish woman to receive commissions for large devotional altarpieces and her early subjects were often derived from Nordic and Christian mythology. These themes were also explored in the large fresco commissions she completed after studying fresco with Joakim Skovgaard (1909-10). Munch continued her studies in both France and Italy and also traveled extensively to Sweden and Norway. Together with the writer Sophie Breum, Munch built a house on the island of Funen at the artist's colony of Kerteminde. Munch illustrated several of Breum's books and, through her, was introduced to the women's movement. She furthered her art studies with Fritz Syberg...
