Isabella Lilias Trotter (1853-1928) Artist and Christian missionary to Algeria. Biography and artworks: www.theconservationcenter.com/article/2084427-lilias-trot... John Ruskin, renowned art critic and social philosopher, praised Trotter's artistic skills, saying that if she devoted herself to her art "she would be the greatest living painter and do things that would be Immortal." She was instead drawn to a life of service, first to women in London caught in prostitution, then as a missionary in North Africa where she ministered to Algerian women and children. Despite the serious toll to her health, her life’s works were indeed immortal. ___ “So then, turn your eyes upon Him, look full into His face and you will find that the things of earth will acquire a strange new dimness.” - Isabella Lilias Trotter
