Sarah Dodson was an expatriate painter of classical and Biblical subjects in the grand manner of the nineteenth-century academies. Born in Philadelphia, she studied in 1872 with the history painter, Christian Schussele, at the Pennsylvania Academy, and then in Paris with Evariste Luminais and Jules Lefebvre.
Her theatrical painting "Bacidae" (1883), was one of a series of salon pictures done in a bold and energetic style. It shows two priestesses of Bacis an ancient crone and younger woma (showing 500 of 3785 characters). |
