Jane Morris
Jane Burden was the daughter of a stableman and working in service when Morris discovered her one summer in Oxford. Besotted, Morris took his very own damzel in distress and had her educated as a lady before marrying her, knowing that she could never return his love. Together they created the Palace of Art, their own medieval paradise. But Dante Gabriel Rosetti fell for the lovely Jane Morris and she became Guinevere to his Lancelot.




Marie Spartali Stillman
Sus primeros trabajos muestran su valoración del mundo femenino, su concepción feminista del arte.
Debido a la profesión de su marido se estableció en Florencia y luego Roma. Centros de arte que forzosamente influyeron en su sensibilidad artística.
No vendió muchas obras, probablemente la concidión de mujer en aquel tiempo infravaloraba la producción artística.
Sus temas preferidos como podemos ver eran retratos femeninos
Trained under Ford Madox Brown from 1864-70, alongside his daughters. Her earliest exhibited works show consciously feminist and political themes linked to her own experience and heritage. Against her family's wishes she married the American journalist and artist W.J. Stillman. Due to her husband's work as a correspondent the family settled in Florence and then Rome. Her sustained output proves her professionalism, but little of her work seems to have sold. Her favorite subjects were, literary-historical figure groups and decorative female heads preferred by patrons. |
