Life
Louisa Fennell was an English painter, born in the Wakefield area of the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1847. She died in 1930.
She is most famous for her paintings of local scenes including Wakefield Cathedral and Wakefield Chantry Chapel at the turn of the 20th century (1898–1904).
Seventeen of these are now the property of Wakefield City Metropolitan District Council (3) and are retained at Wakefield Art Gallery (1) (and from time to time are hung).
Later Louisa painted views of other cities, in particular Micklegate and Monk Gate in the city of York.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“One idea is enough to organize a life and project it
Into unusual but viable forms, but many ideas merely
Lead one thither into a morass of their own good intentions.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Your faith an’ trouth yese never get
Nor our trew Love shall never twain
Till ye come within my bower
And kiss me both cheek and chin.
My mouth it is full cold, Margret,
It has the smell now of the ground;
An’ if I kiss thy com’ly mouth
Thy life days will not be long.”
—Unknown. Clerk Saunders (l. 109–116)
