Episode 12 of the Museum of Femininity Podcast and Part 3 in our Pre Raphaelite Sisters series.In this episode I explore the life of Maria Zambaco, a wonderful artist who made gorgeous art medals as well as painted. She was of Greek Origin and unlike both of the women in this series was wealthy, previously married and had children. She was the lover and muse of Edward Burne Jones who painted her obsessively and very nearly ran away with Maria, which ended in scandal and tragedy. However, Maria was no victim and was able to rise above her failed relationship with Burne Jones to live a full and happy life under her own terms.I am so sorry for the multitude of ways I pronounce 'Maria' and hope it is not too distracting!Source MaterialThe Last Pre Raphaelite by Fiona McCarthyPre Raphaelite Sisters by Jan MarshThe Blog 'Behind Every Man' For photo sources please follow us on Instagram @themuseumoffemininity
