Her series The Anatomy of Melancholy is explicitly inspired by Vilhelm Hammershøi’s interiors and muted light.

He worked internationally, undertook corporate commissions for brands such as Grand Marnier and Absolut Vodka, and served as an official artist for the French Navy.
3 | David Roberts et Louis Hahge
David Roberts was a Scottish painter who travelled in 1838–1840 through Egypt and the Near East and turned his field sketches into the landmark lithograph series Egypt and Nubia and The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia.
Louis Haghe was a Belgian born lithographer who co founded Day and Haghe in London and engraved, printed and hand colored the plates after Roberts’s drawings, producing the editions sold across Victorian Britain.
Their collaboration from 1842 to 1849 made Roberts’s visions widely visible and established lithography as the principal medium for mass circulating travel imagery.
