About
[edit]Cornelia Field Maury was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1866.[2] Her family had owned a theatre in St. Louis, Missouri.[3] She studied at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts (a part of Washington University in St. Louis) and the Académie Julian in Paris.[2] She studied in France with Jules Joseph Lefebvre, Raphaël Collin, Benjamin Constant, Jean-Paul Laurens, Luc-Olivier Merson, and Jules Dupré.[4][1]
She was a member of St. Louis Artists' Guild and Society of Western Artists.[1] In 1899, Maury was exhibiting her work at the St. Louis Artists' Guild.[5] Her work "Mother and Child" was hung in 1900 at the Salon des Artistes Francais.[1]
She lived in St. Louis in her family home, the historical Guion House (also referred to as the Maury House) at 5815 Pennsylvania Ave in the Carondelet neighborhood.[6][7]
Death and legacy
[edit]She died in 1942,[6][8] in Saint Louis, Missouri. However her year of death has been incorrectly attributed with many other dates, and as early as 1934.[9]
Her work is in many public museum collections including Smithsonian American Art Museum,[9] among others.
