Autorenporträt

Charles Winslow Hall, born Caroline Hall on May 22, 1860, in Malden, Massachusetts, was an American artist renowned for his animal and portrait paintings. Hall's life is marked by a unique and complex identity, as he lived as a man for the last ten years of his life, despite being biologically female. This fact remained unknown to the public until his death from consumption (tuberculosis) in 1901 in Turin, Italy. Throughout his life, Hall was recognized for his artistic talent, particularly in capturing the intricate details of animals and human portraits, a skill that earned him recognition in artistic circles. His work, often praised for its precision and emotional depth, continues to be valued for its contribution to American art. His story, which intertwines artistic achievement with the complexities of gender identity, has drawn attention for its historical significance. Hall passed away on September 29, 1901, leaving behind a legacy that includes not only his artistic works but also a unique and poignant narrative about self-expression and identity in a different era.
