About the Item

Marie Louise Bion (Swiss, *1858 ; † 1939) • Portrait of a young Woman • Oil on canvas • Stretcher ca. 56 x 46 cm • Original 19thC frame ca. 68 x 59 cm • Signed and dated ‘ 7/85 ’ for July, 1885 On offer this accomplished portrait of a beautiful young woman wearing her finery, dating to the time, when Marie-Louise Bion had finished her art studies. Note the ethereal, wispy veil covering the sitter’s hair, her expression, that shiny gold necklace she’s wearing, the finely patterned textiles and more. The composition is very reminiscent of Renaissance depictions of the Cumaean Sibyl. Despite of the presence of craquelure and a slightly wavy/uneven canvas bottom right and top corner - visible when viewed from a flat angle in reflected light from the side (see last photo), the nearly 140-year-old delightful painting presents well and is in clean and stable condition, as is the Victorian gilt frame. Verso on the frame a label numbered '3378', by the Art Dealers A. & M. Weil (formerly trading as Weil-Heilbronner), who sold from the prestigious Bahnhofstrasse 73 address in Zürich, Switzerland. The stretcher seems to have suffered some damage at two corners over the years, but all is stable. The modern steel clamps were put in place, to replace the original wobbly, rusty nails, which traditionally were used to fix the stretcher in the frame and the wedges are newish. Overall, a great antique object by a great female artist for a great price. Please read on to learn about Marie Louise Bion and please note, worldwide shipping for this antique painting is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Marie-Louise Bion, born May the 18th, 1858 in Schönholzerswilen, was a successful Swiss realist painter who grew up in the city of St. Gallen. She is mainly best known for her portraiture, but also for her miniatures, as well as genre scenes and she painted on porcelain. Marie-Louise Bion was the eldest of the three children of Friedrich Wilhelm Bion (1826–1864) and Maria Bion, née Oettli (1831–1900). The Bion family has lived in the St. Gallen since the early 18th century. Marie-Louise's grandfather Wilhelm Friedrich Bion was a pastor and social reformer, who campaigned for women's suffrage in the church. Her great-uncle Gottlieb Bion was also an artist painter. When her family emigrated to Uruguay in November 1862, Marie-Louise first stayed with her father's sister, Emma Bertha Bissegger-Bion, in Weinfelden and then moved to another aunt, Johanna Elisabetha Rohr-Bion, inin Rheinfelden, where her husband owned a pharmacy. After his death, the aunt moved to Zürich with young Marie-Louise. In 19thC Zürich Marie-Louise Bion began her artistic training and attended the Zurich School of Applied Arts (Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich ) under Albert Freytag from 1882 to 1885. Around 1880, Marie-Louise met her long-time partner and patroness Caroline von Muralt (1851–1918), with whose help she did relatively well financially. From 1885 to 1895 the two women lived in Paris, where Marie-Louise took lessons in the studios of Luc-Olivier Merson, Jules-Joseph Lefevre and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant. Further study trips took Marie-Louise to Italy, Germany, Belgium and Holland. By the end of the 1890s, Marie-Louise Bion was already a well-known artist who exhibited at the Kunsthaus Zürich almost every year and commanded high prices. In 1890 she moved from Paris back to Switzerland and settled in Zürich. In November 1914 she exhibited for the last time at the Kunsthaus Zürich and from 1916 on she was no longer artistically active. After Caroline von Muralt's death, Marie-Louise continued to live in the Zürich apartment the couple had previously shared up to Caroline ‘s death and Marie-Louise eventually died in the Red Cross Hospital in Zurich on March the 28th, 1939 in Zürich.
