Artist
W H Mote
W H Mote is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
W. H. Mote loved opera so much he turned its stars into prints you could pin on your wall. In 1844 he caught the Italian soprano Giulia Grisi mid-role as Rosina in *The Barber of Seville*, her flounces frozen in ink like she’d just leapt off the stage. Look for his 1847 portrait of Jenny Lind in *La Sonnambula*—a single sheet that makes you feel the gaslight and gasps of a Covent Garden night with nothing more than a few etched lines.
