Elizabeth Siddal is known as the model posing in Millais's painting of Ophelia. But there is much more to learn about this story. Here we explore her life as an artist and poet, her influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the challenges she faced living within Victorian society.

You can also see all of the surviving paintings, major drawings and watercolours by Elizabeth Siddal for the first time in The Rossettis exhibition at Tate Britain, 6 April ā€“ 24 September 2023. www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/the-rossettiā€¦

I think it's important to note the pain that Rossetti caused her as a lover through countless infidelities, as well as the fact that after she died he buried poems with her, and then dug up her grave a few years later to get them back out. He treated her very badly, and this treatment was one of, if not the main, cause of her laudanum overdose.

Iā€™m a senior in HS and every year the seniors have to choose a famous painting to recreate on a ceiling tile, and I chose Ophelia. The amount of detail on this painting is remarkable, and Iā€™ve spent hours staring at it and I still find new hidden details! This is definitely my favorite painting so Iā€™m glad I found this video talking about itā€™s history, so thank you!

OPHELIA Among bed of lilies, She's so beautiful and pale. But her heart was broken, Let the painting tell the tale. A soul that is so rested, Her lilies by her side, The banks around so sodden, With gifts of nature's pride. Keep breathing dear Ophelia, With auburn hair that flows Amidst the tepid water, Heartbeat, hand and rose. šŸŒ¹ How could one so beautiful, And with heart so true, Be lost among the lilies? Let the picture paint the hue. Ā© SIRIUS The poem is very old. It was inspired by the painting.

What a shame this isn't an exhibition. What a fascinating topic.

I have always been disgusted by how most traditional art romanticizes and beautifies Ophelia's death. Her death was cruel and unjust (at least this is what I felt after reading the play) and I thought these paintings should paint the real, ugly death of women drowning in polluted rivers, instead of romanticizing being oppressed and women driven to suicide.

Elizabeth is one of my heroines. She wrote and painted exquisitely, and she had so much depth and feeling and determination. So much went wrong for her, so much hurt and pain, but she will ALWAYS be a beacon of light for women artistsā€¦and our Opheliaā¤ļø

Just want to point out, Ophelia was not sent away by Hamlet because of impurity... Ophelia's father, Polonius, commanded her to give back all Hamlet's love letters and to basically accuse him of playing her. Even Ophelia's brother, Laertes, told her not to trust him. Hamlet truly loved her though, so when she returns his letters and is cold to him, he is devastated. He sarcastically agrees that HE must be the villain and that she should "get thee to a nunnery" where she would be safe from such men. Ophelia, tormented by her choice, watches as Hamlet starts to behave erradically (because of the murder of his father by his uncle) and she believes he has gone mad because she broke his heart. Then in a cruel twist of fate, Hamlet accidentally kills her father. Ophelia could no longer cope and descends into madness - she becomes almost childlike. In her whimsy of collecting flowers, she falls into the river and drowns. Hamlet is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays and I just wanted to defend my main man Ham <3

This painting used to be on the wall in my primary school. Every single child thought it was creepy and a 'haunted' painting.

Thanks for all the details and description of this beautiful painting, and life of the famous red haired model of the Raphaeliteā€™s artists. Elizabeth Siddal was Rossettiā€™s muse.

Hi! How are you? In Korea/Seoul, the rainy season stopped for a while today. Looking at the clear sky, my mind was clear. I hope you have good health and good things on weekends and holidays. Thank you.
