Fanny Cornforth, born Sarah Cox, was a prominent muse and model for the Pre-Raphaelite painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti. She played a significant role in Rossetti's life and work during the mid-19th century, becoming one of his most frequently depicted subjects. Cornforth's relationship with Rossetti began in the late 1850s, and she quickly became a central figure in his artistic circle. Her robust and voluptuous appearance contrasted with the ethereal and delicate beauty idealized by many of Rossetti's contemporaries, making her a distinctive and memorable figure in his oeuvre.

Rossetti's depictions of Fanny Cornforth are notable for their sensuality and warmth, often highlighting her luxuriant golden hair and full, expressive features. These portraits reflect not only Rossetti's admiration for Cornforth's physical beauty but also his appreciation for her vivacious personality. Unlike many of his other muses, who were often depicted in more passive or ethereal poses, Cornforth's portrayals exude a sense of vitality and presence, capturing her as a dynamic and engaging individual.

Cornforth's influence extended beyond her role as a model; she was also a close companion and confidante to Rossetti. Their relationship, though sometimes controversial due to the social norms of the time, was marked by mutual affection and support. Cornforth's presence in Rossetti's life provided him with emotional stability during periods of personal and professional turmoil.

Despite her significant contributions to Rossetti's work and the Pre-Raphaelite movement, Fanny Cornforth's legacy has often been overshadowed by other figures in Rossetti's life, such as Elizabeth Siddal and Jane Morris. However, recent scholarship has begun to re-evaluate her importance, recognizing her as a key figure in the artist's creative process and a muse who helped shape some of his most iconic works.
