About "The Mountain Nymph, Sweet Liberty," a  Photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron Taken in 1866

from The Fine Art Photography Podcast · host Keith Dotson

In this episode, I discuss the story behind a famous 1866 photograph by pioneering British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. We know what camera and lens Cameron used to shoot the glass plate negative, but the captivating model Ms. Keene is an enigma -- almost nothing is known about her. Credits and useful links: The specific print I discuss is this one in the collection of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/268697 Victoria and Albert https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/julia-margaret-cameron New York Times article https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/23/arts/design/julia-margaret-cameron-at-the-metropolitan-museum-of-art.html?_r=0 Another photograph of Ms. Keene on Artsy https://www.artsy.net/artwork/julia-margaret-cameron-mrs-keene A range of Cameron's work at The Met https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/camr/hd_camr.htm
