Elizabeth Thompson’s “The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras”
Melbourne (Australia)
Elizabeth Thompson was a badass! She was painting epic pieces like this one back in 1875 and carving out a huge place for women in the history of art. She also lived to ripe old age of 87. During a time when the average life expectancy of an adult was 50-something.
For Travelers:
This painting is on view at The National Gallery of Victoria.
