Life

Agnes attended schools in Geneva and London.[2] In 1887 she married the theologian Rudolf Günther (1856-1936), with whom she had two sons.

The family moved in 1906 to Marburg, where Rudolf Günther was appointed professor of church art. In 1911 Agnes died of a lung disease after a long illness.
