Marie Ingeborg Bang "MB" (1833-1913) Well-listed Danish Artist who lived in a period where female artists were unwelcome and not allowed to attend the Art Academies. In spite of the difficult circumstances she managed to impress some of her male collages who later took her as their private pupil.

Bang studied with the artists, E. Rasmussen Eilersen, Neils Christian Kierkegaard and F. Helsted. At the end of Bang's carrier she opened her own private art school where she encouraged and helped other female artists to get acknowledged in the art industries.

Exhibitions include: charlottenborg 1871-1893, The world fair in Paris 1878, The female exhibitions 1895 and 1920, The town hall in Copenhagen 1901.

Marie Bang's works today are very rare and only a very few have been sold at auction houses. A coastal landscape sold in 1998 for $1,107.00 at auction in Copenhagen.
