books0977:



Melody (Musica) (ca. 1890-1902). Kate Elizabeth Bunce (English, 1858-1927). Oil on canvas. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham, England.


Bunce attended the Birmingham School of Art in the 1880s. She is known for her assimilation of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Her direct, well-drawn method of working shows the influence of the Birmingham School. Bunce later turned to the medieval influence of the Pre-Raphaelites as seen in the ambitious painting The Chance Meeting (1907) and The Keepsake (1898-1901).
