Noteworthy as the first female artist elected to the Royal Academy for full membership – nearly two centuries after the eminent institution's founding – British painter and printmaker Laura Knight was instructed in the academic tradition but was enticed by the openness and luminosity of Impressionism. She was especially celebrated for her dynamic evocations of dancers and circus performers, about which art historian Timothy Wilcox said, “Knight's conquest of movement was a metaphor for all that she set herself to overcome as a woman artist.”
