The models for ‘The Three Marys’ by Sir Edward Coley-Burne Jones are a triumvirate of Pre-Raphaelite wives and muses. The central figure of Maria of Nazareth was modelled upon the pale beauty of the most famous of all the ‘Stunners’ (Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s word for beautiful women), Elizabeth Siddal, who married Rossetti. The woman standing to the left, with thick luxurious waves of dark hair and holding the pot of ointment with which Mary Magdalene anointed Christ’s feet, was based upon Jane Morris, William Morris’ statuesque wife who was also beloved by Rossetti who later developed an infatuation for her. The last of the women depicted is almost certainly Burne-Jones’ own wife Georgiana, cast in the role as Maria Cleophas, sister to the Virgin. This rarely seen picture by Burne-Jones is being offered at auction for the first time in this Thursday’s sale of Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art. #SothebysVictorian
