{"title":"Bunce, Myra","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMyra Louise Bunce (1854-1919)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an English designer, metalworker and painter associated with the Arts and Crafts movement and the Pre-Raphaelites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBunce was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire. She was the elder daughter of John Thackray Bunce and Rebecca Ann Bunce (née Cheesewright). Her younger sister Kate Bunce was also a painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBunce studied primarily at the Birmingham School of Art (1879-1891), although she also submitted pieces for examination to the South Kensington School of Art. The Birmingham School of Art provided the springboard for Bunce's career as a designer; unusually it encouraged both men and women to design and make objects in a variety of materials and thus led to her interest in metalworking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Bunce worked as an artist, exhibiting pieces at the Royal Academy, the Society of Women Artists and also locally in Birmingham and Walsall, she is best known for her metalworking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn particular with her sister she created two reredos: one for St Mary's Longworth, Oxfordshire and another for St Albans Church, Birmingham. For both of these she created the hand-beaten framing to hold the painted panels. The use of metal rather than moulded gesso is one of the features that distinguishes Bunce's work from that of her contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmongst her other work is the frame that holds Kate Bunce's painting The Keepsake.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bunce-myra-1854-1919-the-sitting-room-1887","title":"Bunce, Myra (1854-1919) - The Sitting Room 1887","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the Victorian British artist Myra Bunce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 1 hi-res image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4078 pixels wide by 3588 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bunce-myra\" title=\"Myra Bunce\"\u003eMyra Bunce\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60949202796874,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Bunce_Myra_1854-1919_-TheSittingRoom1887_main.jpg?v=1769470569"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Bunce_Myra_1854-1919-8588797.jpg?v=1769470448","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bunce-myra.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
