Early Life and Influences

Dante Gabriele Rossetti

, a renowned English poet, illustrator, painter, translator, and member of the illustrious Rossetti family, was born on May 12, 1828, in London. His early life was marked by a deep interest in Medieval Italian art and the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, Sir Walter Scott, and Lord Byron.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

In 1848, Rossetti co-founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. This movement sought to reform English art by rejecting the mechanistic approach of Mannerism and embracing the abundant detail and intense colors of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.

Artistic Style and Notable Works

Rossetti's art is characterized by its sensuality and medieval revivalism. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats and William Blake, while his later work showcased a complex interlinking of thought and feeling, as seen in his sonnet sequence The House of Life. Notable works include:

• Proserpine (1870), a painting showcasing Rossetti's use of symbolism and sensuality.
• Behold the handmaid of the Lord! (The Annunciation), a piece that demonstrates his ability to blend poetry and image.
• Portrait of Aflaia Coronio, a portrait that highlights Rossetti's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.

Legacy and Influence

Rossetti's work influenced the next generation of artists and writers, including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. His art also had a significant impact on the European Symbolists and the Aesthetic movement.
