Biography
Martin Drolling, a native of Oberhergheim, near Colmar, was born in 1752. He received his first lessons in art from an obscure painter of Schlestadt, but afterwards went to Paris and entered the École des Beaux-Arts. He gained momentary celebrity from his 'Interior of a Kitchen,' painted in 1815, exhibited at the Salon of 1817, and now in the Louvre. He usually painted interiors and familiar subjects of general interest. His works were popular during his lifetime, and many were engraved and lithographed. He died in Paris in 1817. The Louvre has paintings a 'Woman at a window' and a 'Violin-Player' by Drolling.
He made use of mummy brown possibly derived from the hearts of French kings.
