Reclaiming the Symbols? A Look at Victorian Art

Reinforcing the Symbols The art that I looked at seemed, for the most part, to be reinforcing the feminine symbols. The women were all either weak or seemed to be alluring and seductive in a dangerous way. The art that I looked at seemed, for the most part, to be reinforcing the feminine symbols.

A few examples stuck out that exhibited the traces of actual reclaiming symbols.

“Helen” – Sir Edward John Poynter As exhibiting the infamous Helen of Troy, this piece seems to be portraying her less as a seductress and more as an innocent maiden. Her hand is over her heart and her cloak is fully covering her. It seems in this piece the woman is being put into the position of a helpless maiden, completely at the whim of Paris. Her gaze is almost fearful and the pose she takes is one of weakness.

 Women can be seductive; to completely dispense of all representations as such would be more destructive than beneficial. However, in the dual paintings of Helen of Troy, one is clearly portraying a different side than the other.  Perhaps rather than portray Helen as a seductress who beguiled Paris to take her, we can view her as a victim of abduction and kidnapping, not just “The face that launched a thousand ships”. Therefore, it is not her vain or greed that causes a war, rather the squabbles of men.  Personality of women is key.
