SPEAKER_00: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica.Historically, women have been told to make themselves smaller, to diminish themselves.Some have used that idea to their advantage, disappearing into new identities.For others, a disappearance was the end to their stories, but the beginning of a new chapter in their legacies.This month, we're talking about disappearing acts. Today, a muse and a model from a tumultuous time in art and history.As a Black working-class woman, she stood out against the white Victorian beauty standards of the time.Her likeness is featured in museums around the world.And yet, she lived a life of obscurity.We don't have any of her own words.
What we know is from public records and paintings.Even in art history, she's often overlooked.Many don't know her name.Well, it's Fanny Eaton. Fanny was born in Jamaica in 1835.Since there's no father listed on her Brits certificate, historians assume he was a white man, likely a British soldier.Fanny was born just after England abolished slavery in the colonies.Her mother, Matilda, had been enslaved.She moved to England a few years later and brought Fanny with her.It was a time of major change and social upheaval.
Throughout the British colonies, whispers of rebellion and independence were starting.And in the heart of England, working-class movements were taking hold.Still, Victorian England was rife with racist and classist ideas.Scientific racism was en vogue.This belief that there was a natural hierarchy favoring superior races was used to justify slavery and colonialism. Matilda, with Fanny in tow, took up a typical working-class life in London.She found work as a laundress, and Fanny worked as a servant.When she was 22 years old, Fanny married James Eaton, a horse cab driver.They started having kids.Fanny kept working.
Then she met someone.An artist.Simeon Solomon.He was a painter from a large Jewish family. His paintings often depicted Jewish figures and heroines, and he was looking to make them more historically accurate.It's not entirely clear how Fanny met Simeon, but it's likely he saw her on the street.And he saw his muse. Simeon asked Fanny to pose for him.She made her public debut in his painting, The Mother of Moses.Fanny went on to pose for Simeon's sister, Rebecca, and then for more young artists who became part of a rebellious movement at the time.
The pre-Raphaelites, as they came to be known, were frustrated by how the art of their day focused on the mundane.Instead, they wanted to grapple with major moral, social, and religious questions.And they did so in bright colors. They also had a preference for intense detail and realism.While Renaissance artist Raphael and his followers had painted religious figures as glossy ideals, Pre-Raphaelites preferred to capture the specific features of their subjects, which is why many of them loved Fanny.Her high cheekbones, wide eyes, and textured hair added depth and dimension to their work. And while many Black subjects were painted in subservient or background roles, Fanny was front and center.Fanny became a muse not only for Simeon, but for many other painters at the time.She was often a generic stand-in for the other, any exotic identity the painters needed.Fanny stopped modeling in 1868.
Why?It's not clear.You can only speculate. Just a few years later, Simeon, the artist who found her, faced criminal charges for alleged homosexual activity, which was a crime at the time.The public scandal that followed ruined his career.He never recovered and eventually died from alcoholism.So Fanny disappeared from art. The rest of what we know comes from public record.Her husband, John, died, leaving Fanny a single mother to their 10 children.She worked as a seamstress to support them.
In 1901, she appeared briefly as a cook to a merchant family on the Isle of Wight.Fanny died on March 4, 1924, from natural causes.She was 89 years old. Fanny's likeness is included in dozens of paintings from a prominent time in art history.You can find her face in some of the world's top museums, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.All month, we're talking about disappearing acts.For more information, find us on Facebook and Instagram at Womanica Podcast.Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and co-creator.Talk to you tomorrow.
