This Round: (I forgot HR-K, so again we go back into time!) Henriëtte Ronner-Knip 1821-1909

---

Henriëtte Ronner-Knip was a Dutch-Belgian artist in the Romantic style who is best known for her animal paintings; especially cats.

---

She was born in Amsterdam into a family of artists and received her first lessons from her father. After he became totally blind in 1832, the family continued to move about, staying for a short time in The Hague, then Beek and 's-Hertogenbosch before settling in Berlicum in 1840. By this time, she was essentially in charge of the family's finances and legal obligations, and had begun painting seriously by 1835.

---

She became the first woman admitted as an "active member" to Arti et Amicitiae (Amsterdam Art Organisation). In 1887, she was awarded the Order of Leopold and, in 1901, became a member of the Order of Orange-Nassau. Her son Alfred and daughters Alice and Emma also became artists. She often exhibited with them.
