The Life of Thea Schleusner
Thea Schleusner was born on April 30, 1879, in Wittenberg, Germany. From a young age, she showed a passion for art.
She traveled to Paris, France, to study painting at two famous art schools: the Académie Colarossi and the Académie Moderne. These schools helped her develop her artistic skills. When she returned to Germany, she continued her studies with well-known artists like Franz Skarbina and Reinhold Lepsius.
