LECTURE 3 "The Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood: Lizzie Siddall, Rebecca Solomon, Marie Spartali Stillman"

Dr. Meghan Callahan

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were known ( in part) for their romanticized images of the women they called their muses. Yet the women in the paintings were also painters and poets. Christina Rossetti, Lizzie Siddall, Rebecca Solomon and Marie Spartali Stillman were active in creating new imagery and direction in 19th c. art. In this class we will discover how the “muses” discovered new ways of being.
