Introduction and life
Marie Spartali was born in middlesex, England. His father is an importer and exporter. He is the Greek consul in London and a member of a Greek cultural group in London. Sparta and Brown's daughter studied art together under his guidance. Spartari later became Edward Burne-Jones's friend and model, and also modeled for Brown and Rossetti. Her early works reveal a very conscious feminist and political theme.
187 1 year, despite the opposition of her family, Mary married W.J. Stroman, an American journalist and amateur artist, and had three children, one of whom died. Because of her husband's work, her family 1878 settled in Florence and 1898 settled in Rome. Although living abroad for a long time, Mary still has long-term cooperation with British galleries, and there are many galleries in the eastern United States to keep in touch. Mary insisted on creating, but her paintings didn't sell well. She likes to create portraits of literary and historical groups, or female decorative heads designated by employers. In his works, landscapes and flowers often appear, but they are not prominent.
Living in Italy for a long time, Mary created many works based on Italian literature, especially works by Dante and Boccaccio, and also described many Italian scenery. Her daughter will be a painter in the future, and her son will be an architect living in America. 1908 and 1982 held retrospective exhibitions of her works in the United States.
Main work
Mary anna marie Anna
The prototype of the character comes from Shakespeare's play "A tooth for a tooth". Tennyson wrote a poem called Marian, which made the heroine more famous. The picture shows her vaguely waiting for her lover to arrive. After the picture, I quoted a sentence from the poem: "Well, she said my life was like a dream/when he didn't come". Painters tend to show her as a victim of a man's rash behavior, but they don't emphasize tragedy so much, but emphasize the brooding and vague atmosphere.
Mrs. Parrita Madonna Pietra Deliascrovigni
"A lady in green is in a green and stony landscape because pireer is homophonic with her name." (WalkerArtGallery, 1884) Rossetti once painted a nude portrait of Lady Parita, holding a crystal ball. But Spartans are much more chaste. She emphasized the black plum trees and turmeric that bloom in winter, which brought a Da Vinci expression to the cold landscape. Her Padua beauty is gentle, not sexy. The scene of the angel announcing the good news appeared in the crystal ball in her hand to show that this stone-hearted beauty put religious belief above all love games.
