Présentation de l'éditeur :
The supermodel did not arrive when Twiggy first donned false eyelashes; the concept began more than one hundred years previously, with a stunning young artists' model whose face captivated a generation. Saved from the drudgery of a working-class existence by an astute young Pre-Raphaelite artist, Lizzie Siddal rose to become one of the most famous faces in Victorian Britain and a pivotal figure of London's artistic world, until tragically ending her young life in a laudanum-soaked suicide in 1862. In the twenty-first century, even those who do not know her name always recognise her face: she is Millais' doomed Ophelia and Rossetti's beatified Beatrice. Her image haunts the viewer and has become the globally recognised incarnation of Pre-Raphaelitism. This colourful and emotionally-charged biography takes Lizzie from the background of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's life and, finally, brings her to the forefront of her own.
Revue de presse :
'A truly extraordinary achievement.' - A.N. WILSON 'The life behind the model for Millais's Ophelia...The first supermodel, Siddal remains a fascinating figure.' - Tatler 'A seductive biography. The story as it gains in tragedy is irresistible' - The Sunday Times 'This mesmerising biography gives life to an icon, and reads as grippingly as any rags-to-riches novel.' - The Mail on Sunday 'It is the stuff of opera' - Sunday Telegraph 'A heart-wrenching tale of art, addiction, adultery and loss, which transcends the decades. A fluid contemporary classic.' - Skytext --A.N. Wilson; Tatler; The Sunday Times; The Mail on Sunday; Sunday Telegraph; Skytext

The supermodel did not arrive when Twiggy first donned false eyelashes; the concept began more than 100 years previously, with a young artists' model whose face captivated a generation. Saved from the drudgery of a working-class existence by a young Pre-Raphaelite artist, Lizzie Siddal rose to become one of the most famous faces in Victorian Britain and a pivotal figure of London's artistic world, until tragically ending her young life in a laudanum-soaked suicide in 1862. In the twenty-first century, even those who do not know her name always recognise her face: she is Millais' doomed Ophelia and Rossetti's beatified Beatrice. With many parallels in the modern-day world of art and fashion, this biography takes Lizzie from the background of Dante Rossetti's life and, finally, brings her to the forefront of her own. The is the sad tale of the self-destruction of one of the best known female faces of the pre-Raphaelite period. The daughter of a hat maker, Lizzie Siddal was plucked from anonymity and thrown into the spotlight as the muse for many of the PR artists, and in particular Dante Gabriel Rosetti. Lizzie and Rosetti then embarked on an obsessive relationship, but with Lizzie never understanding why Rosetti continually put off marriage. Eventually illness and addiction took over and the relationship continued in its sad downward spiral until the bitter end. Ref KKK 3. N° de réf. du vendeur 027532
