translated from Spanish: Fanny Eaton honored by Google at today’s Doodle

Google pays homage in its today’s Doodle to Jamaican-British artist muse Fanny Eaton who modeled throughout the 1860s for a variety of notable English painters. Her figure, her work, helped redefine Victorian standards of beauty and diversity. One day like today, November 18, but from 1874, Eaton first attended classes at the Royal Academy of London. These were sessions that were an integral part of the secret society of emerging young artists called the Pre-Little Brotherhood, that is why this tribute. Fanny Eaton was born Fanny Matilda Antwistle in Surrey, Jamaica, on July 13, 1835. He moved with his mother to Britain during the 1840s, towards the beginning of the Victorian era. At the age of 20, she began modeling for retratists at the Royal Academy of London, and soon caught the attention of a secret society of rising young artists called Prerraphaelite Brotherhood.She made her public debut in Simeon Soloman’s painting Moses’ Mother, which was exhibited in 1860 at the Royal Academy. Over the next decade, it was presented by a variety of prominent pre-French artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais and Rebecca Soloman. The group regarded Eaton as an ideal beauty model and presented it centrally at a time when black individuals were significantly underrepresented, and often negatively represented, in Victorian art. Eaton’s modeling career lasted much of the decade, and it is believed that the 1867 work Jefté de Millais presents his last known appearance in a painting. More about the Doodle 
It was created by Sophie Diao: “The lyrics of ‘Google’ are inspired by the illuminated manuscripts created by the Pre-Families (which in turn were inspired by Volumes of the Middle Ages). I also was inspired by the many sketches and paintings created by fanny Eaton-based pre-stars. A great example is Joanna Boyce Wells’ study of Fanny Eaton, although, unlike Wells’ studio, I chose to leave her hair and ears unadorned as if she were casually sitting in the artist’s studio. The color palette and flowers were extracted from the intense and dramatic exuberance that characterizes the paintings of the pre-Argentineites,” she said.
