Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a British Victorian artist, poet, and translator, and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Rossetti was at the forefront of the revival of interest in medieval art and the appreciation of the beauty of early masters.
Rossetti became a symbol of the Aesthetic movement, celebrating the sensuality, romanticism, and mystery of the female image. Vivid examples of his work include Pandora, Beata Beatrix, and Ecce Ancilla Domini! (The Annunciation), which reveal the artist’s deep fascination with literary and biblical themes as well as his profound reinterpretation of old legends. Rossetti gained particular fame for his depictions of women, whose sensual allure is combined with a rich inner life. Among these, Proserpine, The Day Dream, and Joan of Arc Kissing the Sword of Deliverance stand out. His works laid the foundation for a new vision of female beauty that profoundly influenced later generations of artists and writers.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s paintings are widely acclaimed and highly sought after by collectors. They are exhibited in leading museums around the world, including Tate Britain in London and the National Museum Cardiff.
