One of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768 (along with Angelica Kauffman), Moser painted portraits but is particularly noted for her depictions of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLondon-born Moser was trained by her Swiss-born artist and enameller father, George Michael Moser (1706-1783), George III's own drawing master. Her talents were evident at an early age: she won her first Society of Arts medal at 14, and regularly exhibited flower pieces, and occasional history paintings, at the Society of Artists of Great Britain. Ten years later, however, her thirst for professional recognition led her to join with 35 other artists (including her father) in forming the Royal Academy, and, with Angelica Kauffman, she took an active role in proceedings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a group portrait by Johan Zoffany (1771-72), the Academicians of the Royal Academy members are shown gathered around a nude male model at a time when women were excluded from such training in order to protect their modesty. So that Moser and Kauffman could be included, Zoffany added them as portraits hanging on the wall. They were both later included in the 1795 group painting The Royal Academicians in General Assembly by Henry Singleton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Romney (c.1770) painted a portrait of Moser at work on a still life, which was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, London in 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer influences include the older Dutch masters, famed for glowing colour against dark backgrounds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1790s, Moser received a prestigious commission, for which she was paid over £900, from Queen Charlotte to complete a floral decorative scheme for a room in Frogmore House in Windsor, Berkshire. This was to prove one of her last professional works. At 53, she married Captain Hugh Lloyd, the widower of a friend on 23 October 1793. She retired and began exhibiting as an amateur under her married name. She continued showing at the Royal Academy until 1802.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this period, Moser had a brief affair with artist Richard Cosway, who was then separated from his wife, Maria Cosway, an Anglo-Italian artist. Moser travelled with him for six months on a sketching tour in 1793.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"One of the most celebrated women artists of 18th-century Britain,\" Moser died in Upper Thornhaugh Street, London, on 2 May 1819, and was buried, alongside her husband in Kensington Cemetery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoser's pieces in the British Royal Collection show that she was not only \"the first significant British flower painter, she was also one of the best.\" Her portrait of famed British sculptor Joseph Nollekens hangs in the Yale Center for British Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo further women were elected as full members of the Academy until Dame Laura Knight in 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"women-artists-180-images","title":"Women Artists - 180 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWomen artists have long shaped the landscape of creativity, using their voices and visions to challenge norms and inspire change, however until recently, the work of many of these women has been overlooked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWomen not only express unique perspectives but also illuminate the experiences of marginalised communities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey carve spaces for dialogue, provoke thought, and evoke emotion through their art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCelebrating their contributions reminds us of the importance of diversity in artistic expression.
