Objects Out Loud: Not Just a Pretty Face
Lizzie Siddall was the 19th century’s proto-supermodel. Her beauty inspired the artists and poets of her generation, who presented her as a mysterious, fairytale creature. We tend to know her through the filter of the men who painted her, but in our archives, you can encounter the real Lizzie. Behind the silent muse of Pre-Raphaelite art was a vibrant, creative woman, who was herself a talented poet and artist. In this episode, meet one of history’s most famous models, on her own terms. Listen to our next episode of Objects Out Loud, ‘Not Just a Pretty Face’, here, or wherever you find your podcasts: ashmolean.org/objects-out-loud

A Game of Chess
Alas, another lockdown weekend. What will you be doing to pass the time? This work, titled ‘The Chess Players’, is an oil-on-canvas painting by William Newenham Montague Orpen, before 1902. Orpen had quite a remarkable career; an Irish artist based in London, he was a hugely popular portraitist for the Edwardian-elite before becoming one of the most prominent war artists of the First World War. Following the war, he was commissioned to stay in France to paint portraits of the delegates of the Paris Peace Conference. It was here that he famously painted a controversial work inspired by what he felt was a lack of respect on the part of the politicians towards soldiers who had fought in the war. Upon his return to London, he returned to painting portrait societies and enjoyed great commercial success. However, some of Orpen’s most well-known works are his striking self-portraits.

Peggy Bacon’s witty works often depict scenes from daily life. Here, a bespectacled artist (probably Bacon herself) attempts to work from home in her cramped New York City apartment. She perches on a chair, balancing printmaking materials in her lap. Meanwhile, many eyes look on: neighbors peer out of their windows and even her cat looks up, oblivious to the mouse scurrying behind. Bacon’s playful style and biting caricatures were well-suited to the pages of the “New Yorker” and “Vanity Fair,” which frequently published her illustrations.
