Artist
Violet Oakley
Violet Oakley is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Violet Oakley filled large sheets of paper with flowing watercolors of dramatic scenes. Two pieces here show her knack for storytelling: The Slave Ship Ransomed and Christ descending into Hell, both from the 1910s. She chose watercolor to keep every line clear and every color rich.
Tap The Slave Ship Ransomed to step into the waves and see how she painted history like a living moment.
