1849 Dame Easel Kendal Madge Named Palette 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Dame Madge Kendal (1849-1935), an English actress and artist, deeply engrossed in her work at her studio in the late 1890s. Born on February 1, 1849, Kendal began her acting career in the mid-19th century and quickly rose to prominence on the London stage. However, her passion for art was equally fervent, and she spent much of her free time painting. In this image, Kendal is seen with her palette in hand, intently focusing on her easel. The studio is filled with the remnants of a creative life - brushes, paint tubes, and canvases are scattered about, while a finished painting hangs on the wall behind her. The atmosphere is one of quiet concentration, as Kendal loses herself in the world of her art. Kendal's dual careers as an actress and artist were not uncommon during this period. Many artists and actors of the time, including Frankfort School's founder Adolf Huxley and actress Ellen Terry, pursued both creative outlets. Kendal's versatility and talent in both fields made her a unique and intriguing figure in the Victorian era. This photograph, taken circa 1890, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied societal expectations and followed her passions, leaving a lasting impact on both the world of theatre and the art world.
