Ritta Boemm

Ritta Boemm (1868–1948), a Hungarian artist, was considered talented among Dresden's women artists. Her gouache pictures dealing with Hungarian subjects, a "Village Street," a "Peasant Farm," a "Churchyard," exhibited at Dresden in 1892, were well drawn and full of sentiment, but lacking in color sense and power. She worked unevenly and seemed pleased when she succeeded in setting a scene well. She also painted portraits, mostly in pastel, which were described as spirited, but not especially good likenesses. What she could do in the way of color was noted in her "Village Street in Winter," a picture of moderate size, in which the light was exquisite. However, most of her paintings were less notable than this one.

Bloch made numerous portrait busts, among them being the kings of Spain and Portugal, Buffalo Bill, C. Flammarion, and others. She received honorable mention at an 1894 showing.

Elisabetta Benato-Beltrami (1813–1888) was a 19th-century Italian painter and sculptor. She lived in Padua since 1858. Her talent, which showed itself early, was first developed by an unknown painter named Soldan, and later at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. She made copies of Guido, Sassoferrato and Veronese, the Laokoon group, and the Hercules of Canova, and executed a much-admired bas-relief called "Love and Innocence." Among her original paintings are an "Atala and Chactas," " Petrarch's First Meeting with Laura," a "Descent from the Cross " for the church at Tribano, a "St. Sebastian," "Melancholy," a "St. Ciro," and many Madonnas. Her pictures are noble in conception and firm in execution. She exhibited in Milan in 1847.

Isabelle Catherine van Assche-Kindt was a Belgian landscape painter, born in Brussels. She was a pupil of her uncle, Henri Van Assche. Her sister, Amélie van Assche, was a miniaturist. As early as 1812 and 1813, two of her watercolors were displayed in Ghent and Brussels. She was represented in the exhibitions at Ghent in 1826, 1829 and 1835; at Brussels in 1827 and 1842; at Antwerp in 1834, 1837 and 1840; and at Liège in 1836.

Amélie van Assche (1804-?) was a Belgian painter. She was born in 1804, and was the daughter of Henri Jean van Assche. Her sister, Isabelle Catherine van Assche, a landscape painter, was a pupil of her uncle, Henri Van Assche. Her first teachers were Miss F. Lagarenine and D'Antissier. She later went to Paris, where she spent some time as a pupil of Millet. At the opening of the 19th century, the "Art of the Miniature" was cultivated—as expressed at the time—by Hortense van Baerlen, Marie-Josèphe Dargent, and Assche. She made her debut at Ghent in 1820, and in Brussels in 1821, with watercolors and pastels, and some of her miniatures figured in the various exhibitions at Brussels between 1830 and 1848, and in Ghent between 1835 and 1838. Her portraits, which are thought to be very good likenesses, are also admirable in color, drawing, and modelling; and her portrait of Leopold I., which she painted in 1839, won for her the appointment at court. She was a portrait painter and court painter to Queen Louise Marie of Belgium.
