Elizabeth Siddal is a character that we know today as a model and, especially, as the wife of the well-known Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. For years, her work has been undervalued and the studios where she has been mentioned have only highlighted aspects of her private life, mythologizing and romanticizing the tragedies she was forced to go through to find a place in the demanding world of art.
