Elisabeth Andrae

Louise Elisabeth Andrae (3 August 1876, Leipzig – 1945, Dresden) was a German Post-Impressionist landscape painter and watercolorist.

She studied with two landscape painters; Gustav Adolf Thamm [de] in Dresden and Hans von Volkmann in Karlsruhe.

They were regular exhibitors at an art venue known as the Blaue Scheune (Blue Barn), established in 1920 by Henni Lehmann.

[1] Her brother was the archaeologist Walter Andrae, Curator and Director of the Vorderasiatisches Museum in Berlin.

After 1930, she assisted him by painting large murals of several excavation sites in Babylon, Assur, Uruk and Yazılıkaya; two of which may still be seen at the museum.
