EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century oil painting titled "Natalie and Missal, 1890" we are transported to a bygone era where young women's pursuits of education and culture were emerging. Created by the talented American artist Alice Pike Barney, this artwork beautifully captures Natalie Clifford Barney engrossed in her studies alongside her cherished companion, Missal. The rich colors and attention to detail in this Victorian masterpiece evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when literature, music, and religion held great significance in society. Natalie's youthful face radiates intelligence and determination as she delves into the pages of her prayer book while surrounded by sheet music and books that represent her love for poetry and drama. Alice Pike Barney skillfully portrays the duality of Natalie's character - both studious and spiritual yet also vibrant with creativity. As an accomplished playwright, novelist, poet, and dramatist herself, Barney understood the importance of nurturing young minds like Natalie's during a time when opportunities for women were limited. This enchanting painting is now housed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum as part of their esteemed collection. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture not only individuals but also entire eras. Through "Natalie and Missal" we glimpse into the world of intelligent young women seeking knowledge amidst societal expectations – an image that resonates even today.
