==== Education in painting ====
At age 30, Alma de Banco shifted her main focus from [[arts and crafts]] to [[painting]]. From 1895 to 1905, like many female artists of the time, she got a painting education at the private ''Malschule für Damen'' (“painting school for ladies”) in Hamburg, founded by [[Valeska Röver]]. She studied [[impressionism]] under northern-german influence under her teachers Ernst Eitner and Arthur Illies.<br>
Eitner was a formative influence on her early works, as well as [[Paul Cézanne|Cézanne]] and [[Henri Matisse|Matisse]], whose works she studied [[Autodidacticism|autodidactically]]. She also travelled a lot through [[southern Europe]], which led to her painting motives from the Hamburg area in an impressionistic way using the vivid color palette associated with the South. Additionally, she started experimenting with graphic simplification. <br>
Shortly before the start of [[World War I]], she pursued further education in [[Paris]], studying under Jacques Simon, [[André Lhote]] and [[Fernand Léger]], with a focus on Légers early works as well as the contemporary art styles of [[cubism]] and [[expressionism]].
