Artists and their Models: Georgian Potraitists and their Favorite Female Sitters

at Bass Museum of Art

July 13, 2008

Add Review/Comment

During the last quarter of the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th century, portrait painting flourished as in no other era. The 18th century English painters were avowed admirers of female beauty, courage, and panache - characteristics shared by the courtesans whom they painted - and left posterity a living testament to these women. But, who were the sitters? This illustrated presentation will answer this question and give a glimpse into Georgian society by fleshing out the living women behind the exquisite portraits as well as the artists who immortalized them. Jo Manning, a graduate of Queens College and Syracuse University, was the founder and director of the Reader's Digest General Books Library in New York City and is the author of novels and short stories set in the 18th century. Among them the award-winning Seducing Mr. Heywood (New American Library) and My Lady Scandalous (Simon & Schuster), that was her first non-fiction work.
