Rosa Frances Corder (18 May 1853 – 28 November 1893) was a Victorian artist known for her portraits, genre scenes, and alleged involvement in the forgery of Dante Gabriel Rossetti drawings. Born in London, England, in 1853, Corder displayed an early aptitude for art and received training from Felix Moscheles and Frederick Sandys. She exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Grosvenor Gallery, gaining recognition for her technical virtuosity and her ability to capture the likeness of her subjects.
Corder's portraits are characterized by their psychological depth, their use of soft, muted colors, and their ability to convey the personality of her subjects. She often depicted women and children, imbuing their portrayals with a sense of grace, vulnerability, and emotion. Her genre scenes, often depicting domestic interiors and everyday life, were admired for their attention to detail and their ability to evoke a sense of time and place.
In addition to her legitimate artistic pursuits, Corder became embroiled in a controversial scandal involving the forgery of Dante Gabriel Rossetti drawings. She was accused of creating and selling forged Rossetti drawings to her lover, Charles Augustus Howell, who then passed them off as genuine works to unsuspecting collectors. The scandal caused significant damage to Corder's reputation and career, casting a shadow over her artistic legacy.
Despite the controversy surrounding her personal life, Rosa Frances Corder remains a significant figure in Victorian art. Her portraits and genre scenes continue to be valued for their technical skill, their ability to capture the essence of Victorian life, and their contribution to the understanding of Victorian art and culture.
