Maria Louisa Caterina Cecilia Cosway
Maria Louisa Caterina Cecilia Cosway is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
She painted saints on her knees but danced at masquerades all night. In 1800 she showed St Jerome Kneeling in tight robes that look like they’re melting, the rock behind him lit like a stage set. If you’ve ever seen a saint sweat, this is it. Tap the print and zoom in on Jerome’s fingers—he’s gripping the stone like it’s the last nightclub chair on earth.
