Ophelia, driven mad by Hamlet's murder of her father; is depicted singing while floating in a river moments before she drowns. This is now one of the best known and admired Pre-Raphaelite paintings, but at its first showing at the Royal academy it was not well received by the critics. However it launched Lizzie Siddal as a Pre-Raphaelite into the public eye.https://marinamade.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/lizzie-siddal-as-beata-beatrix-1864-70-by-rossetti.jpgLizzie Siddal as Beata-Beatrix 1864-70 by RossettiElizabeth Siddal as Beata Beatrix, poet Dante Alighieri's tragic heroine. Rossetti identified with Dante, so it was natural for him to express his grief over Lizzie's death by portraying her as Beatrice, symbolic of his great love of her. The red dove is emblematic of his love for her and the poppy represents laudanum, the means to her sad death.https://marinamade.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/lizzie-siddal-1h-drowning-liquify-wm-water.jpgLizzie Siddal drowning.Imaginary depiction of Ophelia's drowning, with Marina's muse of Lizzie Siddal.https://marinamade.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/the-merciless-lady-rossetti.jpgThe Merciless Lady, Rossetti, 1865.The Merciless Lady, Rossetti, 1865.
