DiashowMrs Siddons as the Tragic Muse
Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 – 1792)
Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792): Britanniens führender Porträtmaler & Gründer der Royal Academy. Berühmt für seinen 'Grand Style' – entdecken Sie seine eleganten Darstellungen des Adels!
Reynolds's portrait immediately confirmed Mrs Siddons's status as the greatest tragic actor of her day. He presents her not merely in a theatrical role, but as the embodiment of Melpomene, the muse of tragedy. Behind her are figures representing terror (right) and pity. Her pose recalls the figure of prophet Isaiah from Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling, but Mrs Siddons insisted she had composed it spontaneously herself. This is one of three versions Reynolds made of the portrait.
