About the Item
‘Amor et Pietas’ by Ursula Wood S.W.A. (1868-1956).
The painting – which depicts a group of children laying to rest their pet dog – is signed and dated by the artist. Ursula Wood’s masterpiece, ‘Amor et Pietas’ (‘Love and Compassion’ in Latin) was exhibited at the Royal Academy and at the prestigious Victorian Era Exhibition at Earl’s Court in 1897. It hangs in a newly commissioned gold metal leaf Aesthetic Movement frame.
* More about the painting and the life and career of Ursula Wood can be found on the News & Articles page of the Academy Fine Paintings website.
Ursula Wood trained at St. John's Wood Art School under William Frederick Yeames and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, before entering the Royal Academy Schools. In 1889, during her time as a student at Burlington House, she won the Turner Medal, the first time the honour had ever been awarded to a woman. A superb painter of landscapes, interiors, and especially figures Ursula Wood began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1890 and would go on to do so for the next three decades.
When war broke out in Europe in 1914 Ursula Wood temporarily closed her studio (effectively putting her career as a professional artist on hold) to join the Women’s Forestry Corps, a division of the Women’s Land Army. The Corps – also known as ‘The Timber Girls’, or ‘The Lumberjills’, and rather appositely ‘The Wood Girls' – played an essential role in supplying the British Army and its allies with the timber essential for building barracks and prefabricated military HQ, as well as for munitions and food supply crates and even the wood used in gun stocks, ships, and aircraft. Ursula Wood’s pictures of the Timber Girls at their base at Wendover outside London now hang in the collection of the Imperial War Museum in London.
Between 1890 and 1922 Ursula Wood exhibited twenty-eight paintings at the Royal Academy and many others at the Society of Women Artists (of which she was a founder member), the Royal Scottish Academy, the Walker Gallery in Liverpool, Whitechapel Gallery, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, and the Victorian Era Exhibition. Today, works by Ursula Wood can be found in the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, and Manchester Art Gallery.
