Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall (1829 – 1862), later known as simply Elizabeth Siddal, was a English artists' model, painter, and poet. She became the muse and later wife of fellow artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Born on 25 July 1829 in London,[1] Elizabeth, preferably called Lizzie, soon found work as a model for many affluent painters and artists and in return, she learned to read, write, draw, and paint. In 1852, during a social gathering at Ada Lovelace's home, she met fellow acquaintances and Ada's new friend, Pierrette Arnaud.[2]
Helping Pierrette and Simeon[edit | edit source]
By 1860, Lizzie married Dante Gabriel Rosetti and found herself visiting Paris during the start of their marriage. While there, she attended a social gathering and met with Arnaud once again. Talking with Pierrette, she disclosed that she met a man named Oscar Kane, who asked about any information of Ada, but she was too unwell to respond.[3] In 1861, she and Dante later met with Pierrette and her Assassin mentor Simeon Price, who both wanted to rent rooms besides the Rossetti's. They welcomed their company and offered a place for them to stay.[4]
During Arnaud and Price's stay, Siddal proved to be unwell as she isolated herself, with the exception of Gabriel. However, when all were out of the Rossetti's home, the Templar bodyguard Hennighan came and ransacked it. She and Gabriel both found the crime first as they noticed Arnaud's room was the only one extensively thrashed. There, Lizzie was later found by Pierrette and her friend, Tillie Wallin.[5] After finding out Price was arrested, Lizzie accompanied Tillie and Pierrette as the latter tried to figure out to help her mentor.[6]
Hosted by Arnaud, the Rossetti's home was a place for a social gathering as the Rossetti's welcomed all guests. Lizzie socialized with fellow models like Fanny Eaton before she fixated on a young male poet.[7] However, after the party, Lizzie became further sick due to her dependence on laudanum, prompting Corporal Sawyer Halford to check on her.[8]
Death and exhumation[edit | edit source]
On 11 February 1862, Lizzie had a drug overdose from laudanum and died in her home. In response, Gabriel mourned his wife as he tended to his guests for her wake.[9] However, her grave was exhumed by Dante to retrieve his book of poetry,[10] unknown that his friend Charles Augustus Howell was ordered to take another notebook from her casket.[11]
