Susan Isabel Dacre was an English artist of the Victorian era. She was born in Leamington, Warwickshire, in 1844 and was educated in Salford. For the decade of 1858–68, she lived in Paris. After a winter in Italy (1869), she returned to Paris, and was present during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune. She returned to England in 1871 and began studying art at the Manchester School of Art, where she won the Queen's Prize in 1875.

Throughout Dacre’s career, her portraits were admired in Italy, England and Paris. After living in London for a time, she returned to Manchester in 1883 and shared a studio in 10 King Street with the artist Mary Florence Monkhouse (1858–1946). After much campaigning by both Dacre and Monkhouse in 1897, Dacre was made a member of the council of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts. At the Royal Jubilee Exhibition, Manchester 1887, she had her work on display and assisted Ford Madox Brown (1821–1893) with the decoration of the exhibition’s dome. Dacre was a noted feminist and suffragette. With Annie Swynnerton she founded the Manchester Society of Women Artists in 1876. Dacre also served as president of the organization. For a decade (1885–95), Dacre was a member of the executive committee of the Manchester National Society for Women's Suffrage.

"Sunrise on the Marsh" - Framed 19th Century Antique Landscape Painting

I wish I could figure out who this super-talented artist of the 1800's "Mort R.", was. He painted this gorgeous swamp scene in 1872, but his signature did not include his last name and so we don't know who he was! At any rate, if you have ever visited Louisiana, or the Carolina coast, or even parts of Texas, you will understand how beautifully the artist has captured the special light coming up over a swamp early in the morning. A pirogue has been pulled up at the edge of a small island. The sun is just peeking over the horizon, gently shedding its subtle light. Comes in an exquisite gilt and plaster 19th...
