Extractions: The unhappy woman who inspired, loved, and was loved by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.Lizzie Siddal was brought up in London, the daughter of a Sheffield cutler who had moved South. Her father seems to have been a self-employed small businessman. She was first spotted by Walter Howard Deverell an associate of the Pre-Raphaelites working in a milliners shop. Deverell was so taken with her striking appearance, that he enlisted the aid of his mother to recruit Lizzie as a model. She became a favourite early model of the PRB, who referred to her as Guggums or The Sid. The first really famous painting in which Lizzie appeared was Ophelia, by John Everett Millais. The subject of the painting is Ophelia, in Shakespeares Hamlet drowning herself, after Hamlets murder of her father. Millais purchased a ladys dress of great age for the large sum of £4.00, and Lizzie posed in it lying in a tin bath full of water. To heat the bath, the painter placed it on tressles with oil lamps underneath. Unfortunately the preoccupied painter failed to realise the lamps had gone out. The water then went cold, and poor Lizzie caught a bad cold due to the low temperature of the water. The painting is quite simply one of the greatest produced anywhere in the 19

Extractions: Christina Rossetti To the three young men who founded the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood, Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal was the epitome of aesthetic womanhood. Her mournful beauty appears time and again in their luminescent portraits. In William Holman Hunt's 'Valentine Rescuing Sylvia from Proteus', she appears as a Sylvia. It was Walter Deverall, honorary artist of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, who discovered Elisabeth Siddal. Pausing to browse the window of a hat shop near Piccadilly whilst shopping with his mother, Deverall noticed the striking looks of the milliner's assistant within. Introducing her to his fellow artists, Rossetti, Millais and Hunt, the tri-founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Elizabeth's sensual full lips, heavy lidded eyes and above all, her waist length auburn hair, soon placed her much in demand as their model. But the intense demands placed on her by the three artists nearly killed her.

Extractions: Home Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal (1829-1862) E lizabeth "Lizzie" Siddal was the living, breathing epitome of the Pre-Raphaelite woman. With her sensuous full lips, heavy-lidded eyes, and above all her incredible waist-length auburn hair, she could only be described as a "stunner". S he was discovered by Walter Deverell in a milliner's shop in 1850. At the time he was searching for a model for Voila in his painting Twelfth Night. Later he told William Holman Hunt, By Jove! shes like a queen, magnificently tall, with a lovely figure, a stately neck, and a face of the most delicate modelling; the flow of surface from the temples over the cheek is exactly like the carving of a Pheidean goddess. Wait a minute! I havent done; she has grey eyes, and her hair is like dazzling copper, and shimmers with lustre as she waves it down. And now, where do you think I lighted on this paragon of beauty? Why, in a milliners back workroom where I went out with my mother shopping. Having nothing to amuse me, while the woman was tempting my mother with something, I peered over the blind of a glass door at the back of the shop, and there was this unexpected jewel. Art by date

Extractions: On this day in 1862 Elizabeth Siddal died at the age of thirty-two, almost certainly a suicide. Husband Dante Gabriel Rossetti was stirred by grief, guilt and his romantic temperament to the last-minute gesture of placing the only copies of many of his poems in his wife's coffin; seven years later, in one of the most notorious second-thoughts of love and literature, Rossetti retrieved and published the poems.

Extractions: Elizabeth Siddal Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal ~ the epitome of aesthetic womanhood to the three young artists who founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood ~ was born on 25 July 1829. Her mournful beauty appears time and again in their luminescent portraits. Her father was an ironmonger living, by 1851, off the Old Kent Road, Southwark. She had a delicate constitution not helped by the bohemian lifestyle of her fatal passion whom she married just two years prior to her death. Miscarriages and laudanum also served to shorten her life, which she devoted to art. In John Everett Millais's Ophelia she lies amidst the grassy water plants, her clothes spread wide and mermaid-like. Having lived as man and wife for a number of years they eventually married in 1860, but their union was not a happy one. Elizabeth Siddal's continuing ill health, and Rossetti's predilection for sexual experimentation outside of their relationship, compounded the short-comings and within a short time their marriage had begun to flounder. After two years of increasing marital stress, Rossetti arrived home one day to discover his wife dying. Elizabeth had taken a draft of laudanum, but had misjudged the strength of the tincture and fatally poisoned herself with an overdose on 11 February 1862. As she lay in her open coffin in the sitting room of their house in Highgate Village, the pallid complexion of death highlighting her golden tresses, Rossetti placed a manuscript parchment of love poems against her cheek. Elizabeth took these words to her grave.

Extractions: De pre-raphaelieten gebruikten dikwijls de allegorische taal van de bloemen en de natuur. Op het schilderij drijft Ophelia onder de takken van een treurwilg, omringd door klaprozen en viooltjes. De wilg is het symbool van nieuw leven, maar een treurwilg suggereert eerder verdriet. Klaprozen horen bij de dood en viooltjes zijn symbolen van trouw. O ween nooit om liefde die dood is, Want liefde is zelden trouw, Maar draait haar kap van blauw naar rood, Van prachtig rood naar blauw, En liefde werd geboren voor een vroege dood En is zo zelden trouw. Tover dan geen glimlach op je knap gezicht Als je diepste zuchten komen. De liefste woorden uit een eerlijke mond Sterven zeker weg zoals dromen, En je zult alleen blijven, mijn lief; Als winterse winden komen. Zoet, ween nooit voor wat niet kan zijn, Daar dat niet door God gegeven is. Als de liefdesdroom al echt was Zoet, dan zouden we in de hemel zijn, En dit is de aarde maar, mijn lief, Waar geen echte liefde is.

Extractions: are symbols of death and violets are symbols of faithfulness. O silent wood, I enter thee With a heart so full of misery For all the voices from the trees And the ferns that cling about my knees. In thy darkest shadow let me sit When the grey owls about thee flit; There will I ask of thee a boon, That I may not faint or die or swoon. Gazing through the gloom like one Whose life and hopes are also done, Frozen like a thing of stone I sit in thy shadow but not alone. Can God bring back the day when we two stood Beneath the clinging trees in that dark wood? A Year and a Day

Extractions: Throws-Right The Pre-Raphaelite brethren extolled women. In particular women with pale white skin and red-gold hair. Eleanor Elizabeth Siddall, daughter of the English lower middle class, was the quintessential Pre-Raphaelite woman. Her appearance in many of the Pre-Raphaelite's paintings attests to this fact. She is Ophelia in John Everett Millais' well-known painting; William Holman Hunt used her as a model for the red-haired Celt in his painting "Christians Sheltering from the Persecution of the Druids"; Walter Deverell used her as the model for Viola in his painting "12th Night" and of course, Dante Gabriel Rossetti was obsessed with her image. Siddal was just 18 years old when William Allingham, a writer who associated with the members of the Pre-Raphaelite vortex, saw her working as a milliner's apprentice in a shop on Cranbourne Alley. Allingham told Walter Deverell, another artist in the vortex, about this beautiful woman. Eventually word got back to Dante Gabriel Rossetti who met and fell deeply in love with her. It would be ten years later on May 23,1860 before Rossetti and Siddal got married. By then the romance of young love had dissipated and the relationship between the two had become more problematic. The following January Siddal gave birth to a stillborn daughter. Depression and ill-health which had been plaguing her for a number of years led her to the use of laudanum, a pain killer and sleep inducer.
