Painting Description
"Lady Lilith" is an oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, first painted in 1866-1868 and later altered in 1872-1873. The artwork is a representation of Lilith, a figure from Jewish folklore often depicted as a dangerous demon of the night, who is sexually wanton and who steals babies in the darkness. Rossetti's portrayal, however, diverges from traditional demonic depictions; he presents Lilith as a beautiful and powerful woman, embodying the Victorian ideals of feminine beauty and seduction.
The painting is part of Rossetti's series of works featuring femme fatales, a common theme in the art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, of which he was a founding member. The Brotherhood was known for its rejection of the mechanistic approach to art and design promoted by the Royal Academy of Arts, and its members sought a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.
In "Lady Lilith," Rossetti uses vibrant colors and intricate details to emphasize Lilith's beauty and the lush surroundings that frame her. The subject is depicted seated, gazing into a mirror, which symbolizes vanity and self-adoration, themes commonly associated with the Lilith myth. The inclusion of flowers, particularly roses, around her further enhances the theme of seduction and hints at the idea of a femme fatale ensnaring her victims with her allure.
The painting has undergone several revisions and exists in multiple versions, including a watercolor replica by Rossetti. "Lady Lilith" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and it continues to be a subject of study for its thematic complexity and its role in the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
