Chantilly in History and Art
by Luise Richter
About the author
Born in 1852 in Bursa, in what is now Turkey, Luise Marie Schwaab Richter went on to become an art historian, translator, and novelist. Reliable reference sources describe her as closely connected to the world of art scholarship, and her career crossed several countries and languages.
She is associated with works such as Siena and Chantilly in History and Art, books that reflect a strong interest in European art, architecture, and cultural history. Project Gutenberg also preserves Chantilly in History and Art, showing that her work continued to find readers well after its original publication.
Reference sources note that she died in 1938 in Lugano, Switzerland. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
