Kitty Lange Kielland (October 8, 1843January 8, 1914) was a Norwegian landscape painter.

Early life and training

Kielland was born to an affluent family in Stavanger, the older sister of Alexander Kielland. Kielland's mutual interactions with her brother would be important to shaping her as an artist. Although she received some training in drawing and painting, it was not until she turned thirty that she was allowed to train as a professional artist. In 1873 she traveled to Karlsruhe where she was trained by Hans Gude. As a woman Kielland was forced to take private lessons from Gude instead of joining his landscape painting class. Gude's adherence to realism left a lasting impression on Kielland that was visible in her later works. Kielland made rapid progress during the two years she spent training with Gude.

Munich

Kielland left Karlsruhe for Munich in 1875 where she joined a colony of Norwegian artists living there. In Munich she studied with French-inspired realist Hermann Baisch, and with Norwegian Eilif Peterssen whom some consider to be her most important teacher. Kielland lived in Munich until 1878.

Jæren

In 1876 Kielland visited Jæren in southern Norway. Kielland's former teacher Hans Gude had visited Jæren in 1869 and 1872 and upon his return had suggested to her that she should travel there and paint it.cite book | last = Haverkamp | first = Frode | authorlink = | others = trans. Joan Fuglesang | title = Hans Fredrik Gude: From National Romanticism to Realism in Landscape | accessdate = 2008-01-07 | language = Norwegian | doi = | id = | pages = | chapter = | chapterurl = | quote = | ref = ] Kielland prepared studies while she was in Jæren and later used these to paint the characteristically flat landscape when she returned to Munich, making her the first artist to do so. Her painting of Jæren shows a realistic depiction of the landscape, but with unifying atmospheric effects. Kielland returned to Jæren regularly during the summers, and so the monotonous landscape and peat bogs of the area became one of her favorite motifs. Kielland said that she was so interested in the area around Jæren because of "the grandeur of the landscape and the wealth of poverty".cite web|url=http://www.artsmia.org/mirror-of-nature/nordic-art-detail.cfm?nor_art_cat=45&lng=0|title= In the Open Air|accessdate= 2008-03-23|work= A Mirror Of Nature: Nordic Landscape Painting 1840-1910|publisher= Minneapolis Institute of Arts] The skill with which the landscape was executed marks her as one of Gude's most outstanding students.

Paris

In 1879 Kielland moved to Paris, and exhibited her paintings for the first time. Kielland was briefly a pupil of the landscape painter Léon Pelouse who lived in nearby Cernay-la-Ville. Kielland left Paris in 1889.

Later life and death

Kielland worked on simplifying her art in the 1890s under the influence of Jens Ferdinand Willumsen.

Kielland participated eagerly in public debates regrading women's rights.

Kielland painted little towards the end of her life. She suffered from senile dementia for several years, and finally died in Kristiania in 1914.
