This is the 2nd episode on Amalia Kussner, the famed miniature portrait artist of the Gilded Age. We will discuss her professional and personal life after 1900. Very little is published about this time, however we’ll detail that she was still quite active and continued to be “the” sought after artist of era. We’ll also discuss the family she married into - The Couderts (most famously known for the international Coudert Law Firm). With her marriage to Charles Dupont Coudert, she inherits 6 sister-in-laws, some of which did not approve of Amalia. We’ll review their marriages - which followed the edict for the Gilded Age - to “marry well”. Ultimately, we'll convey her incredible talents and help us understand this amazing and complex person. And how those talents allowed her to thrive with the elite of American society and European royalty. A recap of the first podcast episode, will be provided at the beginning. However - here's a Link to first podcast on Apple (but on all other podcast venues). This 1st episode will especially detail her famous trips to see the Czar/Czarina of Russia and to paint Cecil Rhodes in South Africa.
