Ernestine von Kirchsberg (12 August 1857, Verona, Austrian Empire]] – 8 October 1924, Graz, Austria) was an Austrian landscape painter.[1]

Biography

She was born in the

Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, with Eduard Peithner von Lichtenfels, August Schaeffer and Hugo Darnaut. Her first exhibit followed shortly, at the Vienna Künstlerhaus
.

It was Darnaut who most influenced her style; an atmospheric school of landscape painting peculiar to Austria, known as "Stimmungsimpressionismus [de]". While in Vienna, she befriended Marie Egner and Alfred Zoff, who she later followed to Munich. There, she completed her apprenticeship with him and Adalbert Waagen, a student of Albert Zimmermann. She also took up watercolors and was initially best known for her work in that genre.

In 1893, she was awarded a prize at the

Adriatic, Styria, Carniola and the South Tyrol.[1]

She died in 1924[2] and is buried at the St.Leonhard Cemetery [de] in Graz.
