Dorothea Schwartz Zimmer

Last updated

Dorothea Schwartz Zimmer was a German painter active around 1800.

Daughter of the painter Johann Christian August Schwartz  [ de ], Zimmer was married to painter and draughtsman Johann Samuel Zimmer; upon his death she married her cousin, painter Joseph Dantieux. Active in Göttingen, where her first husband taught at the university, she was recorded during her lifetime as a portraitist working in oils and pastel, and to have produced landscapes as well. [1] Another source records that she painted portrait miniatures as well. [2] None of her work is known to survive, but she has been posited as the artist of a head of Samuel Taylor Coleridge dating to c. 1799 and currently attributed to an anonymous artist. [1]
