Elisabeth von Adlerflycht

Susanna Maria Rebecca Elizabeth of Adlerflycht, born v. Riese ( born September 23, 1775 in Frankfurt am Main, † March 15, 1846 ibid ) was a German painter and inventor of the Rhine panorama.

Life

She was a student of the Frankfurt still life and portrait painter Johann Daniel Bager (1754-1815) married in 1797 and later senator of Justinian Adlerflycht in Frankfurt am Main.

During a Rhine cruise in 1811 she drew the panorama of the Rhine Valley from the mouth close to the Moselle. Johann Friedrich Cotta Cottendorf (1764-1832) recognized the new card design and this led in 1822 in Stuttgart lithographic printing this sheet by the Stuttgart theater painter cellar. Since 1823 Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp completed for the Frankfurt publisher Friedrich Wilmans the default to the classic panorama of the Rhine from Mainz to Cologne.

Elisabeth v. Adlerflycht had a picture-gallery in Frankfurt, where today reminds a road to the family of Adlerflycht.
