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.
And thankfully as punishment he had a horrible death. "He sank into a morbid state" good. You can also say Siddal got revenge because the poems that he buried with her got backlash after publishing which the criticism made his health decline
I’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 I’ve spent hours staring at it and I still find new hidden details! This is definitely my favorite painting so I’m glad I found this video talking about it’s history, so thank you!
Have you seen the original at the Tate Abby? It is large (76.2 cm × 111.8 cm or 30.0 in × 44.0 in) and impressive. In person you can clearly imagine just how much effort it took to create. And you might also enjoy the work of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a much earlier painter whose paintings have many hidden and even humorous details.
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 artists…and our Ophelia❤️
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.
It's common in the olden days. Many artists drew that away to get fame and an audience. If they drew more graphical (not in a negative way, more like what you described it should be like), the audience wouldn't notice it or be disgusted by it.
I really like what you said. It's so true. There was a female artist if you look up: allbymyradself-rgfellows-rgfellows then you'll see her work. She did the REAL struggles of women, but was told by men to tone it down.
@@nicywicy I have often wondered why it is considered romantic to die of a broken heart? I don’t really consider that as suicide, but I suppose dying while young and beautiful, immortalised in an image elevates the idea from pure tragedy.
Thanks for all the details and description of this beautiful painting, and life of the famous red haired model of the Raphaelite’s artists. Elizabeth Siddal was Rossetti’s muse.
I watched the New Romantics when I was in my 20s, that show - it was everything at the time. Now I see it as adolescent, but it felt so big and complete at the time.
Lovely art and video, thankyou. Sadly tragic though for Elizabeth Siddal. A haunting example of life imitating art. But for her generosity to help a great artist, she lives on in his masterpiece.
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.
maybe it is. in such a way that you would be held still at the sight of a pale figure such as her. maybe its the way her eyes hold you in a cold way like a room held with past tragedies.
Not the most appropriate adornment for the wall of an elementary school. "Should we hang the alphabet animal poster?" "Nah, let's go with the suicide."
Now I know what inspired the famous Finnish band Negative to create the song Frozen To Loose It All for the music video. The video is just like this painting. I love Tate! ❤️💟💙
Did I just get read a paragraph from a romance, the descriptions were beautiful, the language genuinely really pulled me in. Beautiful work on this video.
I don’t like that the video is trying to say that Siddal was the one who wanted to marry later. Rossetti was ashamed of her origins because she was from a working class family and he was the one postponing the wedding. Also it’s very likely that she committed suicide as a result of depression and that it wasn’t an accident.
As a working Life Drawing model, I can tell you that she did not hold that pose for hours. She would have been in and out of that tub many times. She may also have done some of the pose on a chaise lounge.
Hi! How are you? There has been no rain in Korea/Seoul this year. With this severe drought, I'm worried about farming and many other things. I hope you have good health and good things for the rest of the week. Thank you very much.
I'm a bit surprised at the mention that women had more trouble getting models for painting, you'd think it'd be easier for a woman painter to get female models, at least with their friends and relatives, was it an etiquette issue? Like what you mentioned about working women being looked down on.
A career as a well known female artist wasn't even considered as realistic back then, like the idea of it was laughable for many that believed men did everything better.
It wasnt appropriate to hire models for nudes and study the naked body. I dont know why but only for male artists it was considered okay to look at male and female naked bodies 🤷
We had the subject of nude painting at university and I learned that it was immoral for women to paint other women as nudes. They were not allowed to enter the hall with several men who were painting a naked woman. Sometimes there was also the phenomenon that women were given a cow to paint. In the 18th century, however, nude painting was a prerequisite for a successful career as an artist, which was one of the reasons why women had no chance to become artists. They were allowed as models, so to speak, but not as artists. Linda Nochlin has written a fascinating article about this, if you are interested in this topic. :)
Could you mention the name of the artist at the center at 5:20? It is kinda shocking. But we have the same face. I stumbled on this video by curiosity. while i was busy processing Siddle's story, this image appeared leaving me awestruck. Jeez I'm oil painted holy shit whaaaaat. Ik It's unbelievable but just trust me on this. I have got to find the actual painting. Please mention the source when you get time, or anybody in the comment who knows. Thankyou! ✨
Hi! I don't know if this'll really help, but the work you're looking for appears to be titled 'Ophelias', and is the collaborative work of Rahi de Roy, Astha Patel, Pranshu Takore and Savitha Ravi (according to the credits of this video and the website of the Tate Museum). Platform-mag and Openclosemag have both written articles about the artistic process behind this piece.
I've always live dthis painting yet I haven't read hamlet. I've only seen ut performed and then she was barely in it What a painting.. amazing. She is extremely beautiful whatve rthe standards of the day but this use of oil is just incredible to me. To paint a dress floating in water like that it's one I could stare at for hours
That’s not what happened, it took so long for her to get married because her lover was kind of a ladies man who even cheated on her With his other models.
I'm from the UK. I have a 84x60cm framed print of this painting. I think the picture is somewhat bland but it fills up blank wall space alongside my other pictures.
Hamlet does not break up with Ophelia because he thinks she's impure. He just goes on a rant about how much he hates all women and tells her to join a nunnery.
As an artist myself..I think it represents the possessive self obsessed Rossetti...& A delicate flower...a true Greek tragedy..!! Thanks for the post 👍

Impressive! When Tate lent it to MAP (Museum of Art Pudong) as opening exhibition last year, I finally got a chance to watch it closely.
so that's where it was!! i went to the tate last year to see it and also the lady of shalott, and both were missing! glad you got to view it :)
This painting used to be on the wall in my primary school. Every single child thought it was creepy and a 'haunted' painting.
