Pre-Raphaelite to Arts and Crafts Jewellery

Ford Madox Brown - Emma Hill: study for "The Last of England"

1852
Black chalk, with wash

One of the most direct and appealing of all Pre-Raphaelite portrait drawings, this study of Brown's future wife is a notable result of the artist's hard work on 'The Last of England' in the winter of 1852.

Brown had met Matilda Hill (always known as Emma) by Christmas 1848. She was then nineteen, the daughter of a poor farmer who had migrated to London during the agricultural depression of the 1830s.

http://pre-raphs.bmagonline.org/collection/modern-life/emma-hill.html


William Rossetti recalled her having "a pink complexion, regular features, and a fine abundance of beautiful yellow hair, the tint of harvest corn".

Although a daughter, Catherine, was born in November 1850, Emma andBrown did not marry until 1853.

Copyright laws around the world

[A Sleeping Dog. . Gerrit Dou 1650]

I'm often asked about copyright on these pictures. I mainly work from old auction catalogues where the auction house claims copyright on the photographs of the paintings. Legally this is probably doubtful as they are reproducing the original painting, which is almost certainly out of copyright without adding anything ro it. The position is explained here:

http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/about/copyright-issues.html

This theory has been tested and proven in U.S. courts already: In Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., 36 F.Supp.2d 191 (S.D.N.Y. 1999), the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that exact photographic copies of public domain images could not be covered by copyright because they lack originality. Even if accurate reproductions may require a great deal of skill, experience and effort, it is a process that lacks originality, a key element for copyrightability under U.S. law. The decision applies only to two-dimensional images such as paintings.

But it is fair to say that in some ways this is a grey area. Proceed with caution.
