Maria Thymann – Danish artist
Maria Christine Thymann (1867–1928) was a Danish painter active in Denmark in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is especially known for her paintings, including landscapes and scenes related to the Danish artists’ colony in Nymindegab on the West Coast, where painters often found inspiration in nature, the coastal landscape, and local life by Ringkøbing Fjord.
Thymann attracted attention when she was working, as she did not, like other artists, wander out into the landscape to find her inspiration. She drove in a jumpe and brought all her equipment with her.
Thymann’s paintings have been sold at auction both in Denmark and internationally, and she is included in historical overviews of Danish artists from the period, where her contribution to the history of the Nymindegab painters is still recognised among collectors and art historians.
