Non permettere mai
che qualcuno venga a te e vada via
senza essere migliore e più contento.
Sii l’espressione della bontà di Dio.
Bontà sul tuo volto
e nei tuoi occhi,
bontà nel tuo sorriso
e nel tuo saluto.
Ai bambini, ai poveri
e a tutti coloro che soffrono
nella carne e nello spirito
offri sempre un sorriso gioioso.
Dà loro non solo le tue cure
ma anche il tuo cuore.
Madre Teresa di Calcutta, da “La Gioia di amare”

- picture 1 - Fresh Lavender, 1909
William Henry Margetson (1860-1940) was an English painter active during the late Victorian era and the Edwardian one known for its full-length portraits of pretty girls, always smiling, with a clean, simple, seren and cheerful face, only protagonists of his canvas with their humility

that shines through their eyes, bright with the joy that only modesty allows to reach and makes it possible to give it.
When his subjects don't watch the painter they seem to be caught in the serene moments of their daily activities, and communicate to the viewer, anyway, joy and peace of mind ...

He lived in Wallingford on Thames and led studies of art at the South Kensington Schools, and perfected them at the Royal Academy where he began to exhibit in 1885.
Alongside portraits of contemporary young girls, Margetson also started to give life to images of religious scenes

With the beginning of the century, he devoted himself, with some success, to the creation of watercolor illustrations regaining the radiance on the faces he first portrayed, which probably gave him success.

Hope it may reach you, deeply joyous, my most affectionate greeting, full of gratitude and sincere devotion,

William Henry Margetson (1860-1940) fu un pittore inglese attivo nell'epoca tardo vittoriana - edoardiana conosciuto soprattutto per i suoi ritratti a figura intera di graziose ragazze, sempre ridenti, dall'aspetto pulito, semplice, sereno, gaio, uniche protagoniste della tela con la loro umiltà

The Morning Walk
che traspare dai loro sguardi, accesi della gioia che solo la modestia riesce a far raggiungere e rende possibile il donarla.
Quando i suoi soggetti non guardano chi li ritrae sembrano essere colti in momenti del loro sereno agire quotidiano, e comunicano comunque allo spettatore letizia e tranquillità interiore ...

A Moment's Reflection
Egli visse a Wallingford on Thames e condusse gli studi di arte presso la South Kensington Schools, quindi si perfezionò alla Royal Academy ove espose a partire dal 1885.
Accanto ai ritratti di giovani ragazze a lui contemporanee e ai ritratti, Margetson diede vita anche ad immagini di carattere religioso

e classico/antica.

Con gli inizi del secolo egli si dedicò con discreto successo anche alla creazione di illustrazioni acquerellate recuperando la radiosità nei volti propria degli originari ritratti che gli diedero il successo.

Never allow
someone who comes to you and go away from you
not to be better and happier.
Be the expression of God's kindness.
Kindness in your face
and in your eyes,
kindness in your smile
and in your greeting.
To children, to the poor
and to all those suffering
in their body and spirit
always offer a joyous smile.
It gives them not only your care
but also your heart.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, from "The Joy of Loving"
Hope it may reach you, deeply joyous, my most affectionate greeting, full of gratitude and sincere devotion,
