Hermine Stilke

Sophia Hermine Stilke, née Sophia Hermine Peipers was a German illustrator and painter of the Düsseldorf school. She studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. After initially trying out history painting, she switched to painting flowers and arabesques. She went to Berlin with her family in 1850, where she ran a private drawing school. One of her students was Marie Remy. In 1848, 1856, and 1860, Stilke was at the art exhibitions of the Berlin Art Academy as well as 1867 and 1870 represented at those of the Verein der Berliner Künstlerinnen. In addition to watercolours, Hermine Stilke primarily created illustrations, initials, and other elements of decorative prints. Her works found their way into numerous albums, collections of poems, sayings and songs, travelogues, and luxury volumes as book decorations. They played an important role in the decorative arts of the 19th century. In many of her works, Stilke used the new medium of photography based on chromolithography. She is considered one of the most important German artists of the 19th century.
