LANGTON, Anne
- Naissance
- Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire, England, 1804
- Décès
- Toronto, Ontario, 1893
- Notice biographique
- Born into a cultivated family that traveled through Europe when she was a young woman, Langton studied miniature painting in Paris. The family immigrated to Canada in 1833. During a visit to New York, Langton viewed an exhibition by “Native Artists” and then recorded New World scenes, including some similar to those painted by artists of the Hudson River school. Langton’s sketches and journals may be seen in the context of the enormous cultural changes at work in the world she had left behind. Her visual record is an extensive portfolio: early attempts done in Europe; exquisite miniatures capturing highlights of personality and epoch; on-the-spot drawings for backwoods views. (With sincere thanks to Barbara Williams.)
