British painter (1819-1885)
Emma Sophia Oliver, later Emma Sedgewick (née Eburne; 15 August 1819 – 15 March 1885) was a British landscape painter.[1]
Oliver was born in London, being the daughter of Mary and William Eburne, a coach-builder from Rathbone Place.[2] In September 1840 she married the painter William Oliver and the couple regularly took painting tours of Britain and Germany.[3] Emma Oliver exhibited watercolours and oil paintings from these tours at the Royal Academy in London, at the British Institution and with the Society of British Artists.[2][1] In 1849 she was elected a member of the Society of Painters in Water Colours.[2] William Oliver died in 1853 and his widow remarried in, or around, 1856 a John Sedgewick but continued to exhibit works as Oliver until her death at Great Berkhamsted in 1885.[2][1] Her later works included Rhine landscapes and scenes of Venice. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London holds examples of her work.[4]
