- Notice biographique
- Anna Murphy Brownell Jameson was an amateur artist and critic. Originally from Ireland, her family moved to England just before the rebellion. She later came to Canada with her husband, amateur painter Robert S. Jameson, after he was appointed Attorney-General of Upper Canada in 1836. During the fifteen months spent in Canada she traveled throughout the Great Lake region, recording her travels extensively through writing and illustration in her book "Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada." She also wrote on various art subjects as a critic in the books "Sacred and Legendary Art" and "Early Italian Painters." Her books were widely read and respected, and she was best known as an author, an art and literary critic, and feminist.
