EMMA LAMPERT COOPER]

Mrs. Cooper’s work is principally in water-colors.  After several years abroad, in the spring of 1903 she exhibited twenty-two pictures, principally of Dutch interiors, with some sketches in English towns, which last, being more unusual, were thought her best work.  Her picture, “Mother Claudius,” is in the collection of Walter J. Peck, New York; “High Noon at Cape Ann” is owned by W. B. Lockwood, New York; and a “Holland Interior” by Dr. Gessler, Philadelphia.  Of her recent exhibition a critic writes:  “The pictures are notable for their careful attention to detail of drawing.  Architectural features of the rich old Gothic churches are faithfully indicated instead of blurred, and the treatment is almost devotional in tone, so sympathetic is the quality of the work.  There is a total absence of the garish coloring which has become so common, the religious subjects being without exception in a minor key, usually soft grays and blues.  It is indeed in composition and careful drawing that this artist excels rather than in coloring, although this afterthought is suggested by the canvasses treating of secular subjects.”—­Brooklyn Standard Union.

CORAZZI, GIULITTA. Born at Fivizzano, 1866.  Went to Florence when still a child and early began to study art.  She took a diploma at the Academy in 1886, having been a pupil of Cassioli.  She is a portrait painter, and among her best works are the portraits of the Counts Francesco and Ottorino Tenderini, Giuseppe Erede, and Raffaello Morvanti.  Her pictures of flowers are full of freshness and spirit and delightful in color.  Since 1885 she has spent much time in teaching in the public schools and other institutions and in private families.

CORRELLI, CLEMENTINA. Member of the Society for the Promotion of the Fine Arts, in Naples.  Born in Lesso, 1840.  This artist is both a painter and a sculptor.  Pupil of Biagio Molinari, she supplemented his instructions by constant visits to galleries and museums, where she could study masterpieces of art.  A statue called “The Undeceived” and a group, “The Task,” did much to establish her reputation.  They were exhibited in Naples, Milan, and Verona, and aroused widespread interest.

Her pictures are numerous.  Among them are “St. Louis,” “Sappho,” “Petrarch and Laura,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hagar and Ishmael in the Desert,” “A Devotee of the Virgin,” exhibited at Turin in 1884; a series illustrating the “Seasons,” and four others representing the arts.
