St Matthew Accession number: 1927P530 - Birmingham Museum That this study was the beginning of work for the stained glass at Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge, as pointed out by Eliza Korb in "Hidden Burne-Jones" appears correct this drawing is the basis for St Matthew and possibly reversed for St Mark. This is highly likely as Charles Fairfax Murray was adapting drawings into cartoons at this date 1872-3 and the Burne-Jones's studio was utilized for photography by Frederick Hollyer as intermediate so that is is entirely possibly that one drawing could be adapted for re-use. The use of a female model for a male subject by Burne-Jones is not unusual as he, Simeon Solomon and Swinburne were interested in androgyny from the 1860s. The A.C. as stated in "Hidden Burne-Jones" could refer to Aglaia Coronio but it is more likely to refer to Antonia Caiva, a beautiful model who posed during the 1870s. When she had fallen on hard times through her dissolute husband's behavior, she applied to Burne-Jones for help and this drawing may have been a gift to her at this point. There are similarities in the drawing to her features and it is not unreasonable to suppose that this is actually a portrait of her.
