Lilith (1889)
by John Collier (England, 1850-1934)
The apparent sweetness of this work by John Collier, a Pre-Raphaelite painter, is a wonderful testimony to the two sides of Lilith's figure. Juggling between the images of beauty and that of a cold murderess, Collier is one of the artists who transformed her image — from the Assyrio-Babylonian goddess, later known as the first woman in Jewish mythology, into a powerful icon.
Eventually, the figure of Lilith evolves from the dangerous demoness depicted by religious writings to a symbol of feminism. By her aspect of being equal to Adam, from whom she does not depend, the succubus becomes a feminist icon — a perfect opposition to Eve's figure.
