The opulent interiors of both the artist’s home in Farming Woods, Northamptonshire and other distinguished homes, serve not only as an anecdotal record of the people and how they lived, but also provide a contemporary record of what would have been modern design, showing furniture, picture and textiles. The interiors are perhaps the most enlightening subjects, particularly, in the houses subsequently demolished such as Teddesley, Staffordshire. 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 NO
Transcript of Vernon Brochure
Caroline Vernon fl. 1829-1868A Lady’s Leisure, a pictorial diary
This delightful collection of watercolours illustrates the social grace and skills
that were part of everyday life for the Victorian Lady. The artist’s depiction of her
travels serve as a pictorial diary of a lavish age in which fashion and decoration
are combined, providing a personal insight into daily life of the well to do.
The opulent interiors of both the artist’s home in Farming Woods,
Northamptonshire and other distinguished homes, serve not only as an
anecdotal record of the people and how they lived, but also provide a
contemporary record of what would have been modern design, showing
furniture, picture and textiles. The interiors are perhaps the most enlightening
subjects, particularly, in the houses subsequently demolished such as
Teddesley, Staffordshire.
Caroline Vernon nee Fazakerley married the Hon. Gowran Charles Vernon
who was a barrister at law and recorder at Lincoln. He was the son of
Robert Vernon Smith, 1st Baron Lyvedon of Lyvedon. The artist’s privileged
background undoubtedly afforded her ample time to refine her painting
technique. Her eclectic choice of subjects that range from the grand houses
and fashionable destinations provided her with endless opportunities of
interesting and varied subjects. Her work has a softness of touch, which she
combines with a naive charm that is very personal. Unmistakably feminine, her
eye for detail elevates her above that of talented amateur, a label, so often given
to this school of artists that developed from a privileged upbringing.
