Eloise Harriet Stannard was born in 1828 in Norwich, England, where she lived her entire life. She was one of 14 children of landscape painter and drawing teacher Alfred Coppin and Martha (Sparks) Coppin. Her uncle was the painter Joseph Stannard; both her father and her uncle were members of the Norwich School of painters, Britain's first provincial art movement. Eloise and her aunt Emily Coppin Stannard (Joseph's wife) would become the only two notable women artists associated with the Norwich School.
Stannard was probably trained as an artist by her father, and her style was influenced by traditional Dutch still life painting, especially the artist Jan van Huysum. Her subjects were mainly fruits—particularly fruits not grown in England—piled in baskets and bowls, set against a monochrome background in natural light and sometimes accented with small insects. Her fine brushwork and multiple paint layers produced a characteristically luminous surface. Stannard is today considered one of Britain's most gifted still life painters.



Stannard suffered from poor health but still maintained an active career as a painter, exhibiting regularly and becoming so successful that she never needed to take in pupils, as was often the case for women artists in the 19th century. She began exhibiting in 1852, showing at the British Institution (1852–1866), the Royal Academy of Art (1856–93), the Royal Society of British Artists (1856), and the Royal Glasgow Institute (1861). She became a member of the Society of Women Artists in 1871.[1] After 1873, when in the wake of her mother's death she assumed extra family responsibilities, her paintings became smaller and her exhibition career declined.
One of her paintings, Strawberries in a Glass Lid with Glass Bowl of Raspberries Behind (1896), hangs at Norwich Castle, which has the largest collection of works by Norwich School artists.

Federico Cantú


Trabaja indistintamente los temas bíblicos como los nacionales
En 1958 se da a la tarea de trabajar la capilla de los Misionero de Guadalupe
Y paralelamente los primeros trazos de lo que ahora conocemos como ;a maternidad del IMSS
Con ese carácter sarcástico que lo caracterizaba y muy a doc a este trazo decía

“ las viejitas se enojan con migo respecto a la madona del IMSS, me dicen- por lo menos le hubiera puesto un San José-“
