다프네 포스케트 FRSA(Née Kirk; 1911년 12월 23일 ~ 1998년 6월 15일)는 영국의 미술 감식가 겸 미술 작가였다.그녀는 1950년대 후반 에든버러에 사는 동안 초상화 미니어처에 관심을 갖게 되었고, 이 주제에 대한 그녀의 지식이 증가함에 따라 그녀의 연구를 발표하도록 격려받았다.Foskett은 그녀의 경력 동안 7권의 책과 1개의 전시 카탈로그를 출판했다.그녀는 강연 투어를 했고 몇몇 정기 간행물에 기고했다.Foskett의 대형 사진 보관소는 2003년에 장기 대출로 스코틀랜드 국립 초상화 갤러리로 보내졌고 같은 해에 그녀의 미니어처들이 목록화되었다.

초년기

Foskett은 1911년 12월 23일 햄프셔 킴프턴의 Shoddesden에서 태어났다.[1]그녀는 콘월 공작의 경보병대장 존 윌리엄 카네기 커크와 그의 아내 아그네스 모드 헤인즈,[1] 네네 커크의 딸이었다.[2]Foskett은 식물학자 겸 의사인 그녀의 친할아버지인 John Kirk를 통해 스코틀랜드 출신이었다.[1]그녀는 주로 켄트의 세븐어크스에서 자랐으며,[3] 사립 세인트 이브스 스쿨, 벡스힐, 서섹스에서 가르침을 받았으나,[2] 학교를 떠날 때는 어떠한 공식적인 자격요건도 가지고 있지 않았다.[1]Foskett은 1930년대 중반 켄트 예비학교의 교사로 있었다.그녀는 1937년부터 1943년까지 레인워스의 노팅엄셔 파시에서 일하다가 이사했다.

Career

While living in Edinburgh during the late 1950s, Foskett became interested in portrait miniatures, and assisted the miniatures dealer Arthur Tite at the annual Grosvenor House art fair.[1] As her knowledge on the subject grew, she was encouraged to publish her research,[3] and published British Portrait Miniatures: A History in 1963.[2] Foskett followed with the first monograph on the 18th-century miniaturist John Smart the following year.[3] As with several other researchers, she misidentified Smart's place of birth as Norfolk when he was born in Soho.[4] In 1965, the Scottish committee of the Arts Council invited her to curate the coinciding Edinburgh International Festival exhibition ‘British Portrait Miniatures’ at Rothesay Terrace.[1] Foskett was appointed a governor of St. Anne's School, Windermere in 1971.[2]

The next year, she authored the two-volume A Dictionary of British Miniature Painters containing biographical information on more than 4,500 portrait miniaturists.[3] Foskett published two monographs and an exhibition catalogue in Samuel Cooper, 1609–1672, John Harden of Brathay Hall, 1772–1847 and Samuel Cooper and His Contemporaries.[1][2] She republished A Dictionary of British Miniature Painters together with a new edition of Collecting Miniatures to compile the single-volume Miniatures: Dictionary and Guide in 1979.[3] In 1981, Foskett wrote her eighth piece of work, Elizabethan Miniatures.[2] She was a consultant on the ‘Artists of the Tudor Court’ exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1983 and authored an unpublished but completed manuscript on a major period of the portrait miniature.[3]

In 1987, Foskett's final book, Miniatures: Dictionary and Guide, was published for the Antique Collectors' Club in Woodbridge, Suffolk,[1] and was made an Honorary Member of the Royal Miniature Society.[3] She contributed to the periodicals Antique Dealer, Apollo, Collector's Guide and The Connoisseur.[2] Foskett was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts,[3] and was a member of the Royal Over-Seas League and Theta Sigma Phi.[2] She went on lecture tours to London and the United States,[3] and built up a large photographic archive as well as conducting international correspondence on a wide scale.[1] In 1990, the artist Heather O. Catchpole made a watercolour on ivorine portrait miniature of Foskett.[5]

Personal life

Foskett was a member of the Church of England.[2] She was married to the curate and bishop Reginald Foskett from 7 April 1937 until his death in 1973.[1] They had two daughters.[2] She died in the Solihull Parkway Hospital on 15 June 1998.[1]

Legacy

According to Stephen Lloyd in Foskett's Dictionary of National Biography entry and obituary in The Scotsman, she had succeeded in bringing portrait miniatures closer to art collectors, art connoisseurs and the general public.[1][3] Following her death, her photographic archive and much of her art collection was placed on long-term loan at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh in 2003.[6] Her miniatures were catalogued in the same year,[6] as well as the watercolour portrait of Foskett being presented to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.[5]
