Caroline C. Burnett (1877-1950) was a British-American artist known primarily for her Impressionist paintings of Paris street scenes. Burnett's work and painting style show the movement towards contemporary painting in Paris during her years there.
She was a member of the Societe des Beaux-Arts in Paris and exhibited with the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1898. This society was founded in the 1880s as a rival to the well-established group sponsoring the 'oficial' Salon. The SNBA held their exhibitions at the Palais des Beaux Arts on the Champs-de-Mars.Source:Peter Hastings Falk, Editor, Who Was Who in American Art, Volume One less
