Maria Spilsbury (1776�1820): Artist and Evangelical

By Charlotte Yeldham

Looking beyond the purely decorative interpretations of the past, this volume closely examines the art of Maria Spilsbury Taylor, a painter of portraits, genre and biblical themes, who lived and worked in London and Ireland during the Georgian period, and who was patronized by the Prince Regent. A new, religious interpretation is offered here in the light of her Moravian and evangelical background and the patriotic, Protestant ethos of the time.
