Charles Sillem Lidderdale | Genre painter

Charles Sillem Lidderdale (1830, St.Petersburg - 1895, London) was an British artist of promise who exhibited 36 paintings at the Royal Academy from 1856-1893.

His career was marred by eyesight trouble which, after lengthy and skilful treatment by Tirgolin Tweedy, the oculist, yielded sufficiently to enable him to continue his work.

Unfortunately, he had to give up watercolour, a medium more exacting than oils.

But his watercolours, though not numerous, were admired both for their technique and colour.

Sibilla Aleramo e Lina Poletti

Marta Felicina Faccio detta Rina, nota anche con lo pseudonimo di Sibilla Aleràmo (Alessandria, 14 agosto 1876 - Roma, 13 gennaio 1960), è stata una scrittrice, poetessa e giornalista Italiana.

È ricordata per il suo romanzo autobiografico "Una donna" (1901-1904) in cui dipinse la condizione femminile in Italia a cavallo fra il XIX ed il XX secolo. Si tratta infatti di uno dei primi libri femministi apparsi in Italia.

Sibilla Aleramo (1876-1960) | Tentazione

Hai avuto un gesto delle mani, dolce,

mentre parlavi dell’amore femineo,

hai figurato col cavo delle mani dolcemente

la raccolta e tremula dedizione d’un cuore.

Ernest Biéler (Swiss, 1863-1948)

Born in 1863 in Rolle, Ernest Biéler left for Paris at the age of seventeen to study in the city’s art schools.

He works under the influence of impressionism at first and paints an initial masterpiece that causes quite a stir at the 1889 World’s Fair (Pendant la messe à Saint-Germain en Savièse - During the Mass in Saint-Gemain in Savièse, 1886), the picture’s subject being inspired by a stay in the Canton of Valais.

Illustrating the novels of Emile Zola, Alphonse Daudet and Victor Hugo - over and above the few portrait commissions that come in - makes it possible for him to live in the French capital.
