Anna Palm de Rosa (Swedish, 1859 - 1924), Konstnärinnan framför Staffliet (The artist in Front of the Easel), 1885

Anna Sofia Palm de Rosa was a Swedish artist and landscape painter. In the 1890s she became one of Sweden's most popular painters with her watercolours of steamers and sailing ships and scenes of Stockholm. She also painted a memorable picture of a game of cards in Skagen's Brøndums Hotel while she spent a summer with the Skagen Painters. At the age of 36, Anna Palm left Sweden for good, spending the rest of her life in the south of Italy where she married an infantry officer.

"The Meeting"  Maria Konstantinovna Bashkirtseva  (1858 – 1884)

I wanted to present a painting by a female Russian artist who painted during the 19th - 20th Century (this is the time frame where we dwell the most in our exploration of Russian/Imperial History.) I should not have been surprised that there were not many...they were just starting to emerge.

 Maria Konstantinovna Bashkirtseva was born in Gavrontsi near Poltava, Russian Empire (now Ukraine), to a wealthy noble family. She studied painting in France at the Robert-Fleury studio and at the Académie Julian, which was one of the few establishments that accepted female students at the time.

Bashkirtseff would go on to produce a remarkable, if fairly conventional, body of work in her short lifetime (she died of tuberculosis at age 26), exhibiting at the Paris Salon as early as 1880 and every year thereafter until her death (except 1883). In 1884, she exhibited a portrait of Paris slum children entitled The Meeting, which has become her most famous painting. Most of her work was destroyed during WWII.

Interesting note:

From approximately the age of 13, Bashkirtseff kept a journal, and it is probably for this that she is most famous today. It has been called "a strikingly modern psychological self-portrait of a young, gifted mind", and her urgent prose remains extremely readable. She was multilingual and, despite her self-involvement, was a keen observer with an acute ear for hypocrisy, so her journal also offers a near-novelistic account of the late nineteenth-century European bourgeoisie.(gcl)

I've read some articles about Mary Lizzie Macomber and I'm just in love with her art, and it's such a pity that most of her paintings was lost during the fire. The ones that were saved are so wonderful.

Just look at this🌙
