Marie Heijermans (1859 - 1937)
Marie Heijermans
Marie Heijermans, full name Catherine Mariam de Roode-Heijermans, is a Dutch artist.
She studied at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague) and at the Academy of Visual Arts (Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten) in Rotterdam. She was a member of the Cercle des Femmes Peintres, a society of women artists. While in Brussels, Heijermans achieved success in the Paris Salon. She subsequently painted Victime de la misère, in which she depicted a naked woman, a clothed man and a chair with a banknote lying on it. The painting was censored and removed from the exhibition. The scandal led to the early termination of her three-year work grant from the Belgian Queen Regent. In the late 1920s, the painting was acquired by the Stedelijk Museum.
