Florence Carter-Wood (4 September 1888 – 24 July 1914) was a British painter.[1] She studied at the Forbes School of Painting, founded by Stanhope Forbes and his wife Elizabeth, with her brother Joey.[2] She married the painter Alfred Munnings on 19 January 1912 and a scandal was caused when she developed a relationship with his best friend, Captain Gilbert Evans.[3][4] She killed herself in 1914 by taking cyanide;[4] she had previously attempted suicide on her wedding night.[5] She is buried at Sancreed churchyard, with a headstone that reads: “Edith Florence-‘Blote’ – wife of A.J.Munnings Sept 4, 1888 – July 24, 1914.”[6]
She is played by Emily Browning in the film Summer in February, which is based on the novel by Jonathan Smith.[3]
