Charles West Cope

Woman Reading to a Child
Milton's Dream of his Deceased Wife
Il Penseroso
L'Allegro

Charles West Cope is a British Romanticism artist. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

English painter Charles West Cope made quiet, tender scenes of family life and scenes from John Milton’s poems in the 1840s. Flip past the oil paintings of The Young Mother or Il Penseroso to see Woman Reading to a Child, a delicate ink sketch on paper that feels like a quiet moment caught in time. Tap into Milton’s Dream of His Deceased Wife to step inside Cope’s etched world of shadow and memory.
