Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Female Artists, Vol. 1 of 2 Our native paintresses, as the old-fashioned art critics and compilers of biographical dictionaries quaintly term them, have left but faintly impressed footprints on the sands of time. They do not glitter in the splendour of renown, like their sisters of the pen or of the buskin. It is a difficult task to obtain a sparse list of their original works, or glean any scattered remarks on their most valued copies of great masters. Even the most romantic or admired of these fair dreamers on canvas Cr ivory have scarce an inci dent beyond the commonplace in the brief record of their public or private career.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Female Artists, Vol. 2 of 2 The next two years drifted away thus, divided between London and the old country home - an intensely happy time. The young girl felt she was making good progress, and was at length on the right track. While in London, she found herself for the first time in a circle of artists. Mr. Herbert continued from time to time to overlook her work, and to give her his valuable advice; and thankfully does she remember that to him she is indebted for the only art assistance she ever had, with the exception of a subsequent winter, when Mr. Hodgson, ab. A also helped her by occasional visits of counsel and criticism. To him also is due most heartfelt thanks. In order to understand her later works, it is necessary to touch on a subject which must be reverently and delicately approached. At this time her mind was set at rest on a question by which it had long been agitated. She had been brought up in an atmosphere more resembling the higher and more moral side of the old Grecian philosophers than any Christian sect. By nature deeply devotional, she united these art struggles with religious aspirations and vague yearnings. With those who are living, it is impossible to speak of such phases of thought.

Download or read book Women in English Life Vol 1 of 2 written by Georgiana Hill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women in English Life, Vol. 1 of 2: From Mediaeval to Modern Times The object aimed at in the following pages is to show the place that women have held in our national life, from the days when what we call the Saxon race was dominant in England, down to the present time. For this purpose those phases of our social history have been dwelt upon which display most clearly the changes that have taken place in the position of women, and the influence of great forces like the Church and Feudalism. Names have been used as illustrations, and not with any intention of adding to biographical literature. Instances that are the most striking individually do hot always serve best as examples. For this reason many familiar historical scenes and figures have been omitted. The continuity of a general record would be broken by divergence into episodes interesting on account of their exceptional character.

Miss Reynolds was very anxious for Mrs. Thrale to purchase her collection of pictures, and pay for it by a yearly sum which should constitute an annuity or pension. She asked Dr. Johnson to make the offer. Mrs. Thrale's reply was that she could not afford such an arrangement. Only once do we see the shadow of Fanny Eeynolds again fall across the threshold of her brother's house. It was at Christmas time, 1782, and it is the unfriendly hand of Fanny Burney that draws aside the veil. "My father and I dined and spent the day at Sir Joshua Reynolds's, after many preceding disappointments. Our dinner party consisted merely of Mr. West, the painter, Mr. Jackson, of Exeter, and Miss Reynolds. Mr. West had, some time ago, desired my father to invite him to our house, to see that lion, your sister, saying to him, 'You will be safe, Dr. Burney, in trusting to our meeting, for I am past forty, and married.' " My father, however, has had no time, and therefore I believe he applied to Sir Joshua, for the servant who brought our card of invitation said he was to carry no other till ours was answered. " The moment Miss Palmer had received me with a reproachful ' At last we are met, ' Sir Joshua took my hand, and insisted upon wishing me a Merry Christmas, according to old forms, and then presenting me to Mr. West, he said--" ' You must let me introduce you to one of your greatest admirers.' " Mr. West is a very pleasing man, gentle, soft-mannered, cheerful, and serene. Mr. Jackson you may remember our formerly seeing; he is very handsome, and seems possessed of much of that ardent genius which distinguishes Mr. Young; for his expressions, at times, are extremely violent, while at other times he droops, and is so absent that he seems to...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woman of Forty, Vol. 1 of 2: A Monograph Frank Milton himself was a thoroughly good, hard-working fellow. There was no humbug about him and no pretence, but he could'not help know ing that he was popular and that he was rich. He was sorry the artistic brotherhood thought so little of his pictures, but he forgave them, for in his inmost soul he was not very appreciative of his own work, still his style was liked by fashionable ladies, and he was not going to quarrel with them for that, not even for the sake of all the other artists in England. The truth was, he thought more of a word of praise from Lady Mary's lips than of all the fine sentences of the dukes and duchesses in the world. If Mary said his picture was pretty, he knew she meant it usually she told him his portraits were made to order, and on these occasions he contented himself with smiling or asking her what would be the cost of the new show she was preparing for her next triumph.

Excerpt: ... she took it up with energy and perseverance--whether from actual liking, or from a wish to please the dear papa, is hard to say. In those days there were no Schools of Art for girl students. The best of teaching was slight and superficial. With the exception of some lessons in miniature painting on ivory from Miss Sharpe, to whom she was indebted for an insight into colour, and copying at the National and British Museum Galleries, Sarah Setchel had no instruction--or rather, no professional "master." The kind, strict criticisms and unfailing judgment of her beloved father supplied every need: help which, in her progress since, she has never ceased to miss. He was always an advocate for her painting scenes of home-feeling and affection. With the soaring ambition of extreme youth, the young girl longed to direct her energies to historic painting. Her father gently held her back. "It vexes me, my love," said he, one day, when she was planning some grand subject, " to hear you say so. Domestic feeling is your forte. Follow that and you'll excel: leave it, and you'll fail." At one time, it was this watchful father's desire to place his gifted child under the guidance of Mr. Richard Westall, the Royal Academician, and with that hope took her to see him one morning. Mr. Westall received his visitors kindly and politely. They made their application, when he replied that he had only one pupil, and that one was-- the Princess Victoria. The girl artist wisely yielded up her hankering after painting some "Big Bow-Wow " picture, and began a subject from "Smugglers and Poachers." Her heart was enlisted in this work. Of such deep interest did it become that while engaged upon it her pillow was often wet with tears. "The Momentous Question" was...
