Your art history post for today: by Annie Louisa Swynnerton (1844-1933), The Sense of Sight, 1895, oil on canvas, 87.3 x 101 cm, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, England. #WomensHistoryMonth #womanartist #womenartists #art #painting #oilpainting

From the website: “Swynnerton was a leading artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specialising in Symbolist pictures. Here, Swynnerton plays between physical and spiritual senses of sight. The young woman with feathered wings looks up, enraptured, at something out of our view. A fleck of golden light is reflected in her eyes. It is unclear whether she is looking at something natural or supernatural.”
