Cecilia Beaux, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 1, 1855, was an artist who wielded her colors so masterfully that her portraits are still coveted today as fine art prints. Once at the center of New York high society, the painter left an indelible mark on the art world of the United States. After the early loss of her mother, Beaux grew up with her sister in the care of her maternal relatives, as her French father spent little time with his daughters. In 1871, at the tender age of sixteen, Beaux received her first drawing lessons from an aunt known for her historical and religious paintings. Given young Beaux's remarkable talent, her aunt allowed her to continue her education with a Dutch artist. In 1877, Beaux was finally accepted at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy. The work "The Last Days of Childhood," which she exhibited in Philadelphia in 1885, marked her first major success. This painting also enjoyed great popularity two years later at an exhibition in Paris.
In 1888, Beaux began her journey through Europe, studying in Paris at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi. She also visited England and Italy to study the works of the old masters in the museums. Her teachers included renowned painters such as Tony Robert Fleury and William Adolphe Bouguereau. From the turn of the century, Beaux found her center of life in New York, where she worked as a renowned portrait painter for the wealthy upper class. Her house became a social center where celebrities from politics, art and business frequented and enjoyed having their portraits painted by her. Her exhibitions became social events. Among her many portraits are those of Georges Clemenceau, Edith Roosevelt and her daughter, and Sir David Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty. An art print of a portrait by Cecilia Beaux is not only an aesthetic highlight, but also a piece of history captured by the skilled eye of this extraordinary artist.
