Life

Louise Pagenkopf was born on 3 March 1856 in Fürstenberg/Havel, Germany. She lived in Berlin from 1871. There she studied at The Royal School of Art in Berlin. She was a student of R. Warthemüller, Walter Leistikow and Walter Moras.[3] From 1894 to 1899 she traveled to southern Germany, Paris (1895/96) and French-speaking Switzerland. She was a member of the artists' association in Berlin.[4]

Works

Pagenkopf's landscape watercolors were featured in contemporary reviews for the lightness of their style. The watercolor April , published in color print in the Mecklenburgische Monatshefte [de] in 1927, is described as follows: As a tender landscape atmosphere from the first days of April ... the whole lightness of the original wafts towards us.[5]
