Amelia Sarah Levetus

Amelia Sarah Levetus (1853–1938) was a British-Austrian art historian, journalist, educator and feminist.

[1] Born in Birminghamin 1853, Levetus grew up in an active Jewish family environment with strong religious, literary and cultural interests.

She began to associate with the Secession group of modern artists and those from the Kunstgewerbeschule who reflected the trends she had seen in Britain.

This encouraged her to contribute to become the Viennese correspondent not only for the London art magazine The Studio but for several German-language periodicals.

[1] In 1904, she published Imperial Vienna: An Account of its History, Traditions and Arts, targeted at readers back in her native Britain.
