  • In this captivating episode, we delve into the extraordinary bond between Queen Victoria and Lady Butler, two remarkable women who left an indelible mark on history. Explore their unique relationship and gain insight into their feminine perspective on the impacts of war. Join me as we unravel how Lady Butler, a true trailblazer, defied societal norms by fearlessly painting military scenes, once considered a realm exclusively for men. Their artistic collaboration and unspoken understanding remind us of the power of connection and how art can bridge time and gender boundaries. Don't miss this journey into their world of courage, creativity, and compassion.
    Let's together continue to re-write history one woman at a time!
    Many thanks to Hélène Le Bohec for her help in this project.

      So glad you you like it , Barbara. Actually, I knew very little about her myself until I was especially asked to look at her painting, so this was great to do 😀

    Well done, Fiona-Jane, that was very interesting to hear about , to me, an unknown artist, who battled against the patriarch.
