Biography:
Peter Laskarides, businessman was cousin of Marie Stillman.
Marie Euphrosyne Spartali, later Stillman, was a British Pre-Raphaelite painter of Greek descent, arguably the greatest female artist of that movement. During a sixty-year career she produced over one hundred works, contributing regularly to exhibitions in Great Britain and the United States.
Maria Spartali was the youngest daughter of Michael Spartali (1818–1914), a wealthy merchant, principal of the firm Spartali & Co and Greek consul-general based in London from 1866 to 1882. He had moved to London around 1828. In London he married Euphrosyne (known as Effie, née Varsami, 1842–1913), the daughter of a Greek merchant from Genoa.
She and her cousins Maria Zambaco and Aglaia Coronio were known collectively among friends as “the Three Graces”, after the Charities of Greek mythology (Aglaia, Euphrosyne and Thalia), as all three were noted beauties of Greek heritage.
In 1871, against her parents’ wishes, she married American journalist and painter William J. Stillman. He first worked for the American Art Magazine, The Crayon. His later job was a foreign correspondent for The Times. His job as a foreign correspondent resulted in the couple dividing their time between London and Florence from 1878 to 1883, and then Rome from 1889 to 1896. She also travelled to America, and was the only Britain-based Pre-Raphaelite artist to work in the United States.
She had 3 children. Marie Spartali died in March 1927 in Ashburn Place in South Kensington. Her body of work is valued today at over $690 million, the majority of her work is owned by the Zuckerman.
