Bertha von Tarnóczy

Bertha von Tarnóczy-Sprinzenberg (1 April 1846, Innsbruck - 6 March 1936, Pörtschach am Wörthersee) was an Austrian art teacher and painter, specializing in landscapes and still lifes.

[citation needed] In 1877, she went to Munich, where she studied in the Women's Department at the Academy of Fine Arts with Theodor Her [de] and took private lessons from Jeanna Bauck.

[1][2] For personal reasons, she moved to Vienna in 1886, studied with Emil Jakob Schindler and became friends with Olga Wisinger-Florian.

[1][2] She also began giving lessons to children of the nobility and, following the death of Michaela Pfaffinger [de], took over her art school in Linz, which she operated until 1919.

[1] In 1901, together with Wisinger-Florian, Eugenie Breithut-Munk, Marianne von Eschenburg, Marie Egner, Susanne Granitsch [de], Marie Müller and Teresa Feoderovna Ries, she founded the group "Acht Künstlerinnen [de]" (Eight Women Painters) in Vienna.
