Lilly Martin Spencer
1822–1902
Lilly
Martin Spencer's still-life and portrait paintings were popular, but
she became particularly well known for humorous domestic genre scenes.
In
1830, the eight-year-old Angélique Marie Martin, called Lilly, arrived
in the U.S. from her native England. Her parents, a politically
progressive couple of French descent, raised their daughter in the small
town of Marietta, Ohio.
When her artistic abilities and ambitions outstripped the cultural resources available there, her father took her to Cincinnati, where she studied with the portrait painter John Insco Williams.
At 22, Lilly Martin married Benjamin Rush Spencer. They made their home first in New York City, then in Newark, New Jersey, and then moved into a large house in Highland, New York, across the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie. The couple had 13 children, seven of whom survived to adulthood.

Lilly was the
principal breadwinner, while Benjamin managed their growing household.
In the late 1840s and 1850s, the artist's work became popular in Europe
and America.
Spencer exhibited her paintings at the National Academy of Design and was represented at the Women's Pavilion of the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876. She also produced work for a number of prominent patrons. However, much of Spencer's fame resulted from the widespread sale of inexpensive engraved copies of her oil paintings.

amas de casa felices,
maridos adorables pero ineptos
