Henriëtte Ronner-Knip, renowned for her romantic animal portraits, was a Dutch-Belgian artist celebrated for capturing the grace and personality of her subjects. Born in Amsterdam, she trained under her father, the artist Josephus Augustus Knip, and later moved to Brussels after marrying Feico Ronner.
This beautiful portrait of a Bernese Mountain Dog showcases Ronner-Knip’s talent for detail and her deep affection for animals. Known for her works of dogs and long-haired cats, she was admired by European royalty and her works are housed in prominent museums, including the Rijksmuseum and the Royal Collection in London.
Her legacy lives on through her beloved animal paintings, and her influence continues to be celebrated today.
