Sandys’ Helen: red hair, a jewelled collar, and a sulky, dangerous face. The Pre-Raphaelite Helen of Troy, painted in 1867 and now in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
Description
Description
Frederick Sandys painted Helen of Troy as a close portrait, cut off at the shoulders, with a great fall of red hair, a jewelled collar and a mouth turned down in something between boredom and contempt. There is no Paris, no ship, no burning city: only the face, which is the point. This is the woman the old men on the walls of Troy said no one could blame anyone for fighting over, painted by a Victorian who did not believe she was innocent. The model was reputedly Keomi Gray, the Romani woman who sat for several of Sandys’ best pictures.
Painted in 1867, it is one of the defining Pre-Raphaelite heads and hangs in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Our hand-painted reproduction is made in oil on canvas from the original, and its small panel size suits an intimate wall.
