Fanny Cornforth was a Victorian supermodel whose face epitomised
the vision and life of the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel
Rossetti. In their twenty-five years together, she played many
parts from muse, medium and lover to housekeeper and nurse. Due to
her care of the artist, he was able to create some of the best
known and celebrated art works of the nineteenth century, however
at his death Fanny became an outcast, accused of stealing, lying
and even murder. Her journey from rural poverty to celebrated
beauty gave her a life she could never have dreamed of, but her
choice of love above security saw her end her days in an asylum.
Her afterlife, in the imagination of those who knew her and those
that followed saw her cast as a villainess; Rossetti's folly, an
illiterate prostitute who could crack walnut shells in her teeth.
It's finally time that the truth is separated from the swirl of
lies and that the life of one of the most infamous women of
Bohemian London is told, from canvas to asylum.
