Elizabeth Browning was a renowned English poet of the Victorian era, born in 1806 and passing away in 1861. She is best known for her poem "The Battle of Marathon, " which she published in 1820. Despite facing many challenges and health issues throughout her life, Elizabeth's literary talent shone brightly. In addition to her own accomplishments, Elizabeth was also the wife of fellow poet Robert Browning. A captivating portrait titled "The Artists Son, Barrett Browning" showcases their son from around 1885-1889. The couple's love story continued to inspire artists even after their time, as seen in Arthur Percy Dixon's painting "The Brownings in the Gondola City" from approximately 1925. Following Elizabeth's death, a beautiful tomb designed by Lord Leighton was erected for her in Florence in 1923. This monument stands as a testament to her lasting impact on literature and art. Numerous portraits capture Elizabeth's essence over the years; one such image from 1923 reveals her grace and elegance. Another depiction portrays her during mid-19th century when she became an influential figure within British poetry. Robert Browning himself is not forgotten either; his contributions to literature are celebrated through various artworks like those dated back to 1859 or later works from around the late nineteenth century. A glimpse into Elizabeth's personal life can be found through a letter she wrote to Henry F Chorley in 1859 - an intimate piece that offers insight into both her thoughts and writing style.
