Amalia Kussner was a miniature portrait artist and a “darling” of the Gilded Age - the age when the American Industrialists and their families where effectively the royalty of America. She painted many of those families and as part of their extended social circles - was introduced to the crowned heads of Europe. She would go on to paint Edward the 7th of England and the Czar and Czarina of Russia - Nicholas the 2nd and Alexandra. She was quite adventurous and traveled in person for her portraits to Russia and to South Africa during a war (for Cecil Rhodes). Not only was she talented as an artist but adept at marketing herself and commanding impressive commissions. This podcast will reveal her interesting life.
There is now a second podcast on Amalia Kussner - detailing her life after 1900. Please refer to the People Hidden in History directory (on your preferred Podcast venue) for the link.
