Marie-Anne Calame
Born in 1775.
Died in 1834.
Marie-Anne Calame is recognised for her activity as a miniaturist painter. Although little documented, her oeuvre attests to a particular mastery of the art of miniature, a delicate and refined form of artistic expression. Miniatures, often executed on supports such as ivory or paper, make it possible to capture portraits or scenes in an intimate and precise manner.
The details of her career and achievements nevertheless remain unclear, leaving open the question of the extent of her influence and legacy in the field of miniature painting in the nineteenth century.
