Marianne Kürzinger

By 1786, her earliest paintings had been recognized as displaying a "delicate sense of expression so typical of her gender".

For her sentimental depiction of Artemisia at her husband's grave, she was nicknamed "the Bavarian Angelica Kauffmann".

[5] In 1791, Kürzinger married the actor and tenor singer Johann Kunz of Munich who died in 1795.

She specialized in allegorical depictions of events of the times such as the Arrival of Max Joseph in Munich (1799) or Death of the first French Grenadier, La Tour d'Auvergne, at Neuburg am Donau (1800).
