If One Could Have That Little Head of Hers
Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale (1872–1945, English artist known for her paintings, book illustrations, and a number of works in stained glass)
Eleanor entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1896. In that year she also exhibited a work at the Royal Academy, RA, and won a prize for designing a lunette, Spring for the RA Dining Room. Her first major painting was The Pale Complexion of True Love (1899). She soon began exhibiting her oil paintings at the Royal Academy, and her watercolours at the Dowdeswell Gallery, where she had several solo exhibitions.
While at the academy, Eleanor came under the influence of John Byam Liston Shaw, a protégé of John Everett Millais much influenced by John William Waterhouse. When Byam Shaw founded his art school in 1911, Fortescue-Brickdale became a teacher there.
In 1909, Ernest Brown, of the Leicester Galleries, commissioned a series of 28 watercolour illustrations to Tennyson's Idylls of the King, which Eleanor painted over two years. They were exhibited at the gallery in 1911, and 24 of them were published the following year in a deluxe edition of the first four Idylls. Later, she also worked with stained glass. She was a staunch Christian, and donated works to churches. Amongst her best known works are The Uninvited Guest and Guinevere.
The painting above was used as an illustration in two volumes of Robert Browning’s poetry, Dramatis Personae and Dramatic Romances and Lyrics.
It is a response to Browning’s poem ‘A Face’. The poem was inspired by the Renaissance paintings that Browning saw in Florence. The poem starts: If one could have that little head of hers, Painted upon a background of pale gold, Such as the Tuscan’s early art prefers! Recent research has revealed that the face resembles a well-known portrait of Beatrice d’Este by Leonardo’s assistant, Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis.
