Artist
Maria Violet
Maria Violet is a Biedermeier artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
She painted nothing but family faces—no grand saints or mythic heroes—just her husband, her children, the dog curled by the stove. The watercolour of Pierre in 1810 shows him in shirtsleeves, ink-stained fingers clutching a letter he’ll never open. Look up this tiny portrait; it’s the hinge between all those stiff 18th-century portraits and the flood of candid domestic scenes that followed.
