Biography

Münninghoff-van Vliet née van Vliet was born on 27 November 1879 in Amsterdam. She attended the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (Royal Academy of Art, The Hague). Her teachers included Frits Jansen [nl] and Jan Antonius van Schooten. In 1906 she married the artist Xeno Münninghoff [nl] (1873-1944).[1] The couple settled in Oosterbeek where Xeno was a teacher at the local drawing school.[2] Xeno and Tilly often exhibited together. In 1944 their house was badly damaged during the World War II Battle of Arnhem, and much of their work was destroyed. Xeno died soon after.[3]

Her work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.[4] She was a member of Kunstenaarsvereniging Sint Lucas [nl], Artibus Sacrum [nl], Rhijn-Ouwe, and Punt '69.[1]
