Fängslad skönhet : En ikonografisk/ikonologisk analys av Julia Margaret Camerons fotografi The Rosebud Garden of Girls / Imprisoned Beauty : An iconographic/iconologic analysis of Julia Margaret Cameron’s photograph The Rosebud Garden of Girls

This study aims to analyze the motif of Julia Margaret Cameron’s photograph The Rosebud Garden of Girls from 1868 regarding its literary sources, codes and how the women are depicted. The purpose is to find out whether the photograph romanticize or challenge the Victorian conventions. The applied method is Erwin Panofskys iconographical and iconological analysis methods. The theoretical framework consists of art historian Griselda Pollocks report regarding private and public spheres and how women and men are divided between these. Art historian Leena-Maija Rossi’s reasoning concerning female masquerade has also contributed a theoretical basis. The result shows a paradoxical picture of the Victorian view on women and how this is reflected in The Rosebud Garden of Girls.
