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:
“Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“As a rule they will refuse even to sample a foreign dish, they regard such things as garlic and olive oil with disgust, life is unliveable to them unless they have tea and puddings.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“All life long, the same questions, the same answers.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
