Pre-Raphaelite women : images of femininity
Rare Books
"...Pre-Raphaelite Women explores the lives, art and influence of the women associated with the Pre-Raphaelite circle. As models, wives, and lovers of these artists, women such as Elizabeth Siddal, Jane Morris, Fanny Cornforth, Annie Miller, and Maria Zambaco were at the very core of the movement. This unique volume juxtaposes the stories of these women with the paintings they inspired, revealing the discrepancies between the art and the Pre-Raphaelites and their reality. Art authority Jan Marsh explains in her text just how different the painters' idealized visions of these women were from their everyday lives. While portrayed as saints, angels, femme fatales, and courtly ladies, many of the Pre-Raphaelite women came from ordinary, even squalid, backgrounds."--from book jacket.
