Renowned for her majestic beauty and impassioned performances, the
English actress Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) revolutionized the
aesthetics of eighteenth-century theater while inventing a complex
public persona to promote her fame. Her flair for self-presentation
was matched by the showmanship of the many artists who portrayed
her.
Here three lively essays--by Robyn Asleson, Shelley Bennett, Mark
Leonard, and Shearer West--explore Siddons's life and career, as
well as her relationships with a number of artists. Notable among
them was Sir Joshua Reynolds, whose masterpiece Sarah Siddons as
the Tragic Muse became an icon of this great actress at the peak of
her career. This lavish volume also brings together fifty-five
other portraits of Siddons including works by Thomas Gainsborough,
George Romney, Thomas Lawrence, and Gilbert Stuart.
