About the Artist:
Augusta Lovisa Julia Beck was born in Stockholm on the 20th December 1853. Her father, Franz Beck, was a bookbinder.
She studied at the Academy of Art in Stockholm from 1872 to 1878 where she was one of a group of women artists of whom several were to have flourishing careers, at a time when life as a female artist was not an easy choice of career.
Following the Academy in Stockholm, Beck moved to Paris, where in Montparnasse she shared a studio with fellow Scandinavian painters Harriett Bach, Anna Munthe-Norstedt (1854-1936) and Hildegard Thorell (1850-1930), before moving to Grez-sur-Loing in 1882. Grez, south of Fontainebleau, was a thriving artistic colony settled by a number of Scandinavian artists including members of the Skagen Group; the bridge, a landmark of Grez-sur-Loing, appears in numerous paintings.
Beck travelled extensively in Normany, painting in Honfleur, Flamanville, Val-Saint-Martin and Rouen, and to Paris, a short distance from her home in Vaucresson.
Beck was a highly successful female artist; a Scandinavian Impressionist, though she spent the majority of her working life in France. Her contribution was recognised by the French state in 1934 with the award of the Legion of Honour.
Julia Beck died in Versailles in 1935.
