Estella Canziani
Estella Louisa Canziani (1887-1964) was perhaps most famous for her celebrated fairy picture The Piper of Dreams which was shown in the Royal Academy in 1915. The picture rivalled Holman Hunt’s The Light of the World in popularity with over a quarter of a million prints sold in the first year. Mary Clive reminisced in her biography how Canziani’s prints hung over many a child’s bed as a sort of honorary guardian angel. In the spirit of Burne-Jones, who famously stated: For every locomotive they build I shall paint another angel, it offered escapism from the drudgery of everyday life. It is no coincidence that a large number of her prints were sold to soldiers in the trenches.
