Lilith (1889). John Collier (English, 1850-1934). Oil on canvas. Atkinson Art Gallery Collection.
The apparent sweetness of this work by John Collier, a Pre-Raphaelite painter, is a wonderful testimony of the two sides of Lilith’s figure. Juggling between the images of sensuality, beauty, and that of a cold murderess, Collier is one of the artists that has transformed her image. From the Assyrio-Babylonian goddess, later known as the first woman in Jewish mythology, Lilith slowly turns into a powerful icon.

“Feeling more human and hooked on his flesh I
Lay my heart down with the rest at his feet
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet”-Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene by Hozier
Fanart based on the painting “Lilith” (1887) by John Collier because I can’t see any painting resembling The Garden of Eden without my brain relating it to them now. Close-ups below.
