Ellenrieder, Anna Marie. Born at Constance. 1791-1863. A pupil of Einsle, a miniaturist, and later of Langer, in Munich. In Rome, where this artist spent several years, she became a disciple of Overbeck. Returning to Switzerland, she received the appointment of Court painter at Baden in 1829.

Her works are portraits and pictures of historical subjects, many of the latter being Biblical scenes. Among her best works are the "Martyrdom of Saint Stephen," in the Catholic church at Carlsruhe; a "Saint Cecilia," a "Madonna," and "Mary with the Christ-Child Leaving the Throne of Heaven" are in the Carlsruhe Gallery. "Christ Blessing Little Children" is in the church at Coburg. Among her other works are "John Writing his Revelation at Patmos," "Peter Awaking Tabitha," and "Simeon in the Temple." Her religious subjects sometimes verge on the sentimental, but are of great sweetness, purity, and tenderness. She was happier in her figures of women than in those of men. She also made etchings of portraits and religious subjects in the manner of G. F. Schmidt.
