Born not far from Nuremberg, she would later enjoy considerable success in France and on the international exhibition circuit. During her early years, Dora\u2019s parents struggled to finance their talented daughter\u2019s artistic education. At the age of just 13, she began attending a women\u2019s art school in Munich. She subsequently went on to study at the Munich Academy. It was there that she made the acquaintance of Elisabeth zu Wied, who would later become Queen of Romania and who was at the time an author working under the pseudonym of <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elisabeth_zu_Wied\">Carmen Sylva<\/a>. Elisabeth introduced Dora to the Romanian royal court, and she subsequently worked as a court artist creating wall frescoes, book ornamentation and oil paintings until 1882.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_663641d14d95c\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905-300x205.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":205,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905-768x525.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":525,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905-440x301.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":301,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905-580x396.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":396,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905-720x492.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":492,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Dora-Hitz_Kirschenernte_1905.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":700}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:68.359375%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Dora Hitz, Kirschenernte, 1905<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Nationalgalerie der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin &#8211; Preu&szlig;ischer Kulturbesitz, Fotograf\/in:&nbsp;Reinhard Saczewski <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t<section class=\"block block-headline margin-bottom-third\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class='stagger-item'>Departure into the unknown and international connections<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Despite her privileged and secure post as a court artist, in 1880 Dora Hitz decided to move to Paris where she adopted a bohemian lifestyle for the next decade.
