My friends at DailyArt Magazine jut published this article that I wrote about Cecilia Beaux, an American portrait painter. In addition to being hired to paint rich and influential Americans, Beaux was also the first woman to become a full time faculty member at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her story is so empowering. Check it out!
If you enjoy impressive female portraitists, Daily Art’s app also posted my piece about Anna Dorothea Therbusch’s Self-Portrait with Monocle earlier this month. Download the app to read it along with all the rest of Daily Art’s great content.
Alexandra Kiely, aka A Scholarly Skater, is an art historian based in the northeastern United States. She loves wandering down the dark and dusty corners of art history and wholeheartedly believes in visual art's ability to enrich every person's life.
Her favorite periods of art history are 19th-century American painting and medieval European art and architecture. When she not looking at, reading about, writing about, or teaching art, she's probably ice dancing or reading.
