ArtMuse teams up with Ladies Who Lore, a podcast that deep dives into urban legends while diving into bottles of wine, sharing their episode on Lilith. Lilith is an important female figure from Jewish lore, traditionally known as Adam’s first wife, before Eve. Unlike Eve, Lilith refused to play a subordinate role and demanded that she and Adam be treated equally. Lilith eventually departed from Eden and went to the Red Sea. While many today celebrate Lilith as a feminist icon, she was for many centuries depicted as a nefarious and in some cases, demonic character. The history of her lore is fascinating, especially the many meanings Lilith has taken on throughout time. Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti is one of many artists who have captured the figure of Lilith on canvas. In Rossetti's version, Lilith is modeled by Fanny Cornforth, a prominent artist’s model for the Pre-Raphaelite group and one of Rossetti’s mistresses. She modeled for a number of different works by Rossetti, and we plan to have a full episode on Fanny Cornforth in a future season of ArtMuse.Until then, we hope you enjoy this special collaboration with Ladies Who Lore.
