As a student of Emil Jakob Schindler, the Styrian Marie Egner is assigned to Austrian atmospheric impressionism. Along with Tina Blau, Olga Wisinger-Florian and Broncia Koller, she was the most important artist in Austria around 1900. She dealt with landscape painting in oil and watercolor as well as flower pieces, in plein air painting. Egner first studied in Graz with the drawing teacher Hermann von Königsbrunn and then went to Düsseldorf, where she was a student of Carl Jungheim (1830–1886) from 1872 to 1875. In 1882 she came to Vienna, where she settled with her mother. Here she was a student of Emil Jakob Schindler until 1887, in whose circle she painted in the summer months at Plankenberg Castle in Lower Austria. Study visits to Europe, 1887 to 1889 in England. Egner had exhibitions in the Vienna Künstlerhaus, in Germany and England. In Vienna from 1900 to 1909 she was an exhibition member of the Eight Artists group. She had to give up her own painting school for women in 1910 for health reasons. After the First World War, she belonged to the Association of Female Artists of Austria (VBKÖ), which organized a large exhibition for Marie Egner in 1926. From 1930 onwards she became blind and withdrew from public life. Pictured is the city harbor of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) in Croatia, designed in the 15th century by Paskoje Miličević.
