context_page_description: Emily Stannard, also known as Mrs Joseph Stannard, was a British still life painter. She was associated with the Norwich School of painters, Britain's first provincial art movement. Along with her niece Eloise Harriet Stannard, she is considered to be the finest British female still life artist of the nineteenth century.
  Emily Coppin was born in Norwich, the daughter of Daniel Coppin and his wife Elizabeth, who were both accomplished amateur artists. In 1820, she travelled with her father to Holland to study the paintings of Jan van Huysum and other Dutch masters, an episode in her life which greatly influenced her work. She married the Norwich artist Joseph Stannard in 1826, but was widowed four years later, when he succumbed to tuberculosis. She continued painting until she was in her eighties, mainly depicting still life paintings of flowers in vases, fruit or game animals. Her works were exhibited in both Norwich and London. She was awarded a large gold medal in 1820 for an original painting of flowers and was awarded two further gold medals in later years.
