Elizabeth Siddal, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, was immortalized in numerous works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founding members of the Brotherhood. Rossetti's relationship with Siddal was both professional and deeply personal, as she served not only as his muse but also as his lover and eventually his wife. Born in 1829, Siddal was discovered by the artist Walter Deverell while working in a millinery shop and soon became the face of Pre-Raphaelite art, embodying the ethereal beauty and medieval romanticism that the movement idealized.

Rossetti's depictions of Siddal are characterized by their intense emotional depth and meticulous attention to detail. His works often portrayed her with a haunting, otherworldly beauty, capturing her delicate features, flowing auburn hair, and melancholic expression. One of the most famous paintings featuring Siddal is "Beata Beatrix," completed after her tragic death in 1862. This painting is a poignant tribute to Siddal, symbolizing her as Beatrice from Dante Alighieri's "La Vita Nuova," a figure of divine love and inspiration. The work is imbued with personal grief and spiritual transcendence, reflecting Rossetti's profound sense of loss.

Siddal was not only a model but also an artist and poet in her own right. Encouraged by Rossetti, she produced a body of work that, although limited, showcased her unique talent and perspective. Her poetry often explored themes of love, death, and nature, echoing the Pre-Raphaelite fascination with beauty and decay.

The relationship between Rossetti and Siddal was tumultuous, marked by periods of intense passion and profound sorrow. Siddal's health was fragile, and she struggled with depression and laudanum addiction, which ultimately led to her untimely death at the age of 32. Rossetti's art continued to be haunted by her memory, and she remained a central figure in his creative life long after her passing.

Elizabeth Siddal's legacy endures through Rossetti's art, where she is forever enshrined as a symbol of Pre-Raphaelite beauty and tragic romance. Her influence on Rossetti and the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement underscores her importance not only as a muse but also as a significant contributor to the artistic and literary culture of the 19th century.
