Jane Morris, Emma Jones, Annie Miller, and Queen Moon of them all Elizabeth “Lizzie” Siddall—the Pre-Raphaelite artists loved and lionized their muses. In this day and age, however, the word muse smacks of reduction and exploitation, especially seeing that muses, both past and present, are often artists themselves.
