JULIA MARGARET CAMERON (PHOTOGRAPHE). Alfred, lord tennyson

JULIA MARGARET CAMERON (PHOTOGRAPHE). Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Artist: Julia Margaret Cameron (British (born India), Calcutta 1815-1879 Kalutara, Ceylon). Dimensions: 35 x 27 cm (13 3/4 x 10 5/8 in. ) irregular. Date: July 4, 1866. When Cameron's husband retired in 1848 from the Calcutta Council of Education and the Supreme Council of India, they moved to England, settling first in Tunbridge Wells, near Charles's old friend the poet Henry Taylor, and later in Putney Heath, near the poet laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson and his wife. For Cameron, these men were not merely friends and neighbors, but also intellectual, spiritual, and artistic advisors. In 1860, while her husband was in Ceylon checking on the family coffee plantations, Cameron visited the Tennysons' new home at Freshwater on the Isle of Wight and promptly purchased two cottages next door, which she joined together as the new family home. Cameron's friendship and determination knew no bounds-indeed, her kindness could be overbearing at times. It took three years of pleading before Cameron convinced Tennyson (who jokingly referred to her models as "victims") to sit for his portrait.

Traduction automatique: Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Artiste : Julia Margaret Cameron (britannique (née en Inde), Calcutta 1815-1879 Kalutara, Ceylan). Dimensions : 35 x 27 cm (13 3/4 x 10 5/8 in. ) irrégulière. Date : 4 juillet 1866. Lorsque le mari de Cameron a pris sa retraite en 1848 du Calcutta Council of Education et du Supreme Council of India, ils ont déménagé en Angleterre, s'installant d'abord à Tunbridge Wells, près du vieil ami de Charles, le poète Henry Taylor, et plus tard à Putney Heath, près du poète lauréat Alfred, Lord Tennyson et sa femme. Pour Cameron, ces hommes n'étaient pas seulement des amis et des voisins, mais aussi des conseillers intellectuels, spirituels et artistiques. En 1860, alors que son mari était à Ceylan pour vérifier les plantations de café familiales, Cameron visita la nouvelle maison des Tennyson à Freshwater sur l'île de Wight et acheta rapidement deux cottages à côté, qu'elle réunit comme nouvelle maison familiale. L'amitié et la détermination de Cameron ne connaissaient pas de limites - en effet, sa gentillesse pouvait parfois être autoritaire. Il a fallu trois ans de plaidoirie avant que Cameron ne convainque Tennyson (qui qualifiait en plaisantant ses modèles de "victimes") de poser pour son portrait.
