An artist of the Dutch school, Ronner-Knip painted primarily genre scenes, landscapes, still
lives, and especially animals. The daughter of artist Joseph-August Knip, she was also his
student, painting mostly still lifes and genre scenes in her youth. In the year 1836, when she
was only 15 years of age, she both exhibited and sold her first work in Dusseldorf, which was
quite a feat for such a young artist. When she married, however, her husband turned quite ill
and the family was forced to move to Brussels in 1859. It was here that she began to paint her
famed animals scenes, and especially the celebrated canvases of cats and kittens, for they
proved to be the most constant and inexpensive models. This sector of her oeuvre is praised
not only for her ability to give such individualistic character to her subjects, but also for her
ability to render the luscious and elegant interiors in which the animals commonly frolic.
Because of the popularity of her works, Ronner-Knip exhibited rather regularly at the
Paris Salons and throughout England, where her paintings are still highly coveted and collected
to this day. She is known to have exhibited works in London in both 1862 and 1892, but in
addition showed her pieces at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool (4), the Royal Society of
Artists at Birmingham (2), the Fine Arts Society (115), the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts (38),
the Goupil Gallery (31), the Manchester City Art Gallery (10), the New Gallery (2), the Royal
Academy (16), the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (16), the Royal Institute of Oil
Painters (13), the Royal Scottish Academy (24), the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in
Water Colours (1), and the Society of Women Artists (1). Her pieces remain respected in
today's modern age, and this painting in particular serves as a good example of her mid-career
subject and style. (end)
