Clotilde Elizabeth Brielmaier (March 4, 1867 – March 29, 1915),[1][2] sometimes called "Lottie" Brielmaier, was a German-American religious painter, specializing in portraits and church murals.[3][4] She was the daughter of the famous Milwaukee architect Erhard Brielmaier and often collaborated with her family members on projects.[5][6][7] She spent several years, as many as twenty, studying at the art centers of Europe including Munich and Rome.[8][9] She is said to be the first female artist to establish her own studio in the United States, which was located in the now demolished University Building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[8][10]
Her younger brother, architect Leo Anthony Brielmaier, founded the Clotilde Brielmaier Art Scholarship Fund at Cardinal Stritch University in 1964.[11][12]
