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:
“My dream of politics all my life has been that it is the common business, that it is something we owe to each other to understand and ... discuss with absolute frankness.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination.... The individual is the heart of society, conserving the essence of social life; society is the lungs which are distributing the element to keep the life essence—that, is, the individual—pure and strong.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
