Astudiaeth o Ben [Study of a Head]

BURNE-JONES, Sir Edward (1833 - 1898)

Astudiaeth o Ben

Cyfrwng: olew ar banel

Maint: 35.5 x 25.6 cm

Derbyniwyd: 1921; Trosglwyddwyd; Tŷ Turner

Rhif Derbynoli: NMW A 244

Astudiaeth yw hon o un o’r cantorion yng nghefndir un o baentiadau enwocaf Edward Burne-Jones, King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid (1884, Tate). Dechreuwyd cynllunio’r paentiad yng nghanol y 1870au a treuliodd Burne-Jones nifer o flynyddoedd yn perffeithio’r cyfansoddiad mewn cyfres o ddarluniau a lluniau dyfrlliw. Gwnaed mwyafrif y gwaith ar y paentiad terfynol ym 1883 a dechrau 1884 cyn cwblhau ac arddangos y gwaith yn Oriel Grosvenor, Llundain yng ngwanwyn 1884.

Mwy na thebyg taw’r gantores Jessie Keene (g.1872) yw’r model ar gyfer y darlun, neu o bosibl ei chware hŷn Laura (g.1867/8), fu hefyd yn modelu i’r artist James McNeill Whistler yn y 1880au. Roedd eu mam, Annie, yn modelu’n gyson i Burne-Jones, a gellir ei gweld mae’n debyg mewn gweithiau fel The Golden Stairs (1880, Tate). Daeth chwaer arall, Bessie (g.1878/9), yn un o’i hoff fodelau yn y man a gellir ei gweld hi mewn gweithiau fel Vespertina Quies (1893, Tate) a Love Among the Ruins (1894, Maenordy Wightwick, Yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol).

I am interested to see this connection with Mrs.Keene who has been identified as the model for several of Julia Margaret Cameron's photographs, like Sweet Liberty, that had previously been incorrectly identified as my great grandmother, Cyllena Wilson. Cyllena was adopted by Julia Margaret Cameron as an orphan teenager and was the model for many photographs in about 1867 including Rosalba and Rachel at the Well. According to my great aunt, Cyllena hated sitting for photographs especially being locked in a closet for Despair, and ran away on a ship to New York.

I am Anne daughter of Myrtle, getting a bit older now 3 days to go 83 so thought it time to put on
Line what I know before it is too late, my mother never talked much about her grandmother I didn’t know her name though I realise now that I was named for her, she lived in Highgate after she married and became Mrs Keene , my mother told me she ran a coffee house ( it may have been a stall) there where Artists met ,mentioning Millais and others of the Romantic school. My grandmother Taigi became an actress ,Jessie married William Wontner,Artist who was mainly a portrait artist did well for some time but died in poverty,Jessie survived him . SisterLaura married a Mr Bagshaw ( banker) 1 son now deceased Monsignor Canon john Bagshawe I have some photos and paintings which I will put on line. Yours Anne Wall.

Dear Christopher Vibart,

Would you be interested in corresponding with me for an exchange of family information? It would not be appropriate to do so on the Museum of Wales website. If so, will you post your email address on the site or shall I post mine?

Your cousin,

Henry Sire

This is very interesting indeed ? Why you ask well it so happens that Henry Vibart is my great grandfather - my grandfather is one of three boys and two girls - John Henry Vibart - and I am the son of my late father Ian Francis Vibart - in addition to this you have been talking to Anne Wall - the daughter of one of two sisters of my grandfather - her name is Myrtle Vibart , so you have a little background you maybe able to confirm the following -that is - that there is somewhere a painting of a girl reclining in the cresent of a moon - my father in his notes seems to be of the understanding that girl is Taigi Keene - ? Is there any other information that can be shared kind regard Christopher j Vibart

A message for Anne Wall: I, like Henry Sire, was most interested to hear that you are a descendant of Taigi Vibart nee Keene. I am presently trying to discover more about Taigi's sister Jessie and would therefore love to get in contact with you. As you note she married William Wontner, who is the main subject of my research. In anticipation that you read this Anne, please contact the Curator of Historic Art (copying this message) who can then forward you on my personal contact details. many thanks

I've been researching about this subject; the maiden name of Mrs Keene (the mother) is Anne Edwards, and there were four Keene sisters: Taigi (1867), Laura (1868), Jessie (1872) and Bessie (1878).
You can find more information in my blog entry http://sitioparatodo.blogspot.com/2013/09/keene-mountain-nymph-sweet-liberty-identity.html (it's in spanish, but includes a translation gadget)

Dear Anne Wall,

I have just been alerted to your message. Charles Joseph Keene was a first cousin of my great-grandmother Adelaide Sire, nee Keene, so you are my fourth cousin and the closest relation, equal with the Conynghams (do you know about them?) that I have so far discovered through the Keenes.

Your message upsets the deductions I had made: I was under the impression that Charles Keene had three daughters: Laura (who acted under the stage name Taigi), Jessie and Bessie. Can you put me right about this?

Henry Sire.
