Lucrezia Borgia1860-61, 1868Medium: watercolour Dimensions: 17 x 9 3/4 in. Production Date: 1860-61, 1868Lucrezia, attired in heavy robes, her large black eyes directed to the front, washing her hands in a basin having administered a fatal dose of poison to her husband, Duke Alfonso Bisceglie” DGR completed the first version of this work in 1860-61, “a little drawing (as good a thing as I ever did on so small a scale)”, as he told Charles Augustus Howell in 1871 (Fredeman, Correspondence, 71.20). At that time he had exectuted a replica nearly twice the size of the original. The latter may well have induced DGR to repaint parts of the first picture along the lines of the replica. In any case, at some point before 1874 DGR replaced the original figure of Lucrezia with “a young woman of less distinction”

Rossetti spent years (1851 - 59) with sketches of this subject. He was very interested in the Borgia's and looked to 17th century Venetian Art for inspiration. Here Lucrezia is shown washing her hands after poisoning her husband. She has been given a very masculine look.

Frances Mary Lavinia Rossetti (née Polidori; 1800 – 1886) was the daughter, wife, sister and mother of important writers and artists. She was also a model of the paintings of her son Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Some photographic portraits of the Rossetti family by Lewis Carroll are permanently displayed at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Frances Mary was born in London in 1800 to the Italian exile Gaetano Polidori, of Greek descent, who served as former secretary of Vittorio Alfieri, and the englishwoman Anna Maria Pierce, an Anglican, private governess to high-born families, and daughter of a successful writing teacher. Of her four brothers, the best-remembered is John William Polidori, Lord Byron's personal physician.

Song.
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Winter: My Secret
I TELL my sicret? No indeed, not I:
Perhaps some day, who knows?
But not today; it froze, and blows, and snows,
And you're too curiouse:fie!
You want to hear it? well:
Only, my secret's mine, and I won't tell.
Or, after all, perhaps there's none:
Suppose there is no secret after all,
But only just my fun.

A birthday
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose heart is in a watered shoot:
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That Paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.

Prints of this kind began in the 1790s as loose sheets of figures taken from the popular theatre of the day and illustrating the key actors and characters (for example, Robert Dighton's 1799 portrait of John Kemble playing the title role in Pizarro). As such they were a kind of souvenir. Soon, however, enterprising publishers began issuing sheets that had figures and theatrical scenes designed to be cut out and made part of a toy theatre that children could construct at home. These toy theatres were immensely popular throughout the 19th century, and it is clear (see WMR and Marillier) that DGR played with them and used the engravings as models for his juvenile drawing.

1841 Dante Gabriel writes "Sir Hugh the Heron". DGR began writing this ballad in 1840 and nearly finished it that year. But he lost interest in the work and laid it aside. Later his grandfather Polidori promised to have it printed if he completed it, so he did, and the poem was duly printed in a small run for private circulation in 1843. DGR later had most of the copies of the work destroyed, though a few still survive.
The poem is based on Allan Cunningham's prose tale “The Elfin Miller of Croga Mill,” which DGR read in the second (1840) edition of the collection, originally published in 1826, Legends of Terror. (181-192).

In the interim between his early published writing and the success of the Alice books, Dodgson began to move in the pre-Raphaelite social circle. He first met John Ruskin in 1857 and became friendly with him. He developed a close relationship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his family, and also knew William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Arthur Hughes, among other artists.

Number 10 Bloomsbury Street, former headquarters of Sass’s Drawing Academy, a feeder school for the Royal Academy. It was here that aspiring painters John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Walter Howell Deverell took their early training. Rossetti and Deverell met at Sass’s, but child prodigy Millais had already entered the Royal Academy Schools by the time they began their studies.

Mottoes decorated the gallery spaces: ‘Those models which have passed through the approbation of ages are intended for your imitation, and not your criticism’; ‘Blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed’; ‘Laborare est orare,’ [‘To work is to pray’]
:" , ", " , , ", "Laborare est orare" ( - ).
Though the details are foggy, it seems Sass’s dramatic eccentricities shaded tragically into madness, and minor oil painter Francis Stephen Cary took over the Academy.
Cary’s father Henry was a famous English translator of Dante Alighieri’s Commedia and consequently a friend of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s father. William Rossetti tells us that at Sass’s, young Dante Gabriel Rossetti ‘acquired the bare rudiments of his art and … made a small reputation for eccentricity.’ One fellow-pupil recalls Cary asking Rossetti why he had not attended school the day before. ‘I had a fit of idleness’, Rossetti replied, and proceeded to distribute freshly-written sonnets among his classmates.

The Royal Academy Schools of Art were funded by the receipts from the Exhibition and provided free tuition and library facilities for any student with talent . In the 1850s, a prospective student was asked to send in a chalk drawing from an antique statue, a drawing of an anatomical figure, a drawing from the skeleton, and a letter of recommendation. If these were considered acceptable, the student was admitted as a probationer. During the probationary period of three months, the student had to prepare a set of drawings in the Academy to prove that he had not been assisted in producing the first works. On completion of probation, the studentship was confirmed and lasted for ten years, reduced to seven in 1853.

Students began their Academy career in the Antique School, making detailed hatched drawings of plaster casts and statues. Once they had completed a course of Perspective training, a year of compulsory attendance at lectures, and been judged competent at the Antique, they were allowed to move on to the School of the Living Model. The third School in the series was the School of Painting. The curriculum had been restricted until 1847: it was only in that year that painting from life models had been introduced, in imitation of the training offered in ‘foreign academies’. Before then, the School of Painting had offered only the copying of existing works of art. There was no fixed timescale of progress through the Schools, and no formal examination system or graduation ceremony, although prizes were awarded annually in December.

This picture is an emblematic interpretation of the sonnet of the same title that DGR wrote in 1847. At that point, 1847-1848, the picture is clearly part of a double work of Rossettian art. Later, when DGR reimagined the sonnet for inclusion in The House of Life , the picture lost most of its significance for the sonnet.
DGR executed the drawing with this title in July 1848 and he began but never finished an oil version, which he worked at for three or four months (see Family Letters I. 99). The drawing depicts a scene that has no imagistic relation to the sonnet. The picture shows a priest walking with a pious young woman, with Mephistopheles lurking in the rear. The drawing was done in July 1848 and has much in common with DGR's Faust drawings of that period.

Get thee behind me. Even, as heavy-curled,
Stooping against the wind, a charioteer
Is snatched from out his chariot by the hair,
So shall Time be; and as the void car, hurled
Abroad by reinless steeds, even so the world:Yea, even as chariot-dust upon the air,
It shall be sought and not found anywhere.
Gget thee behind me, Satan. Oft unfurled,
Thy perilous wings can beat and break like lath
Much mightiness of men to win thee praise.
Leave these weak feet to tread in narrow ways.
thou still, upon the broad vine-sheltered parth,
Mayst wait the turning of the phials of wrath
For certain years, for certain months and days.

The Raven
By Edgar Allan Poe.
48 Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door.
80 Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
92 93 Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer 94 Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"". , . , . , -. -.
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'The Raven' about a poet, haunted by memories of his dead love. A raven flies in, perches on a bust of Pallas Athene and answers the poet's tormented questions about his lost love with the unchanging refrain "Nevermore".
The theme of lovers separated by death fascinated Rossetti throughout his career.
This was drawn just a few months before the foundation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

"Ulalume" is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1847. Much like a few of Poe's other poems (such as "The Raven", "Annabel Lee", and "Lenore"), "Ulalume" focuses on the narrator's loss of a beautiful woman due to her untimely death. Poe originally wrote the poem as an elocution piece and, as such, the poem is known for its focus on sound. Additionally, it makes many allusions, especially to mythology, and the identity of Ulalume herself, if a real person, has been questioned.

Brown was born in Calais and studied art in Antwerp under Egide Charles Gustave Wappers. In 1843 he submitted work to the Westminster Cartoon Competition, for compositions to decorate the new Palace of Westminster. He was not successful. His early works were, however, greatly admired by the young Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who asked him to become his tutor.

Hunt's picture illustrates stanza forty-one of Keats's poem:
They glide, like phantoms, into the wide hall;
Like phantoms, to the iron porch, they glide;
Where lay the Porter, in uneasy sprawl,
With a huge empty flagon by his side:
The wakeful bloodhound rose, and shook his hide,
But his sagacious eye an inmate owns:
By one, and one, the bolts full easy slide; --
The chains lie silent on the footworn stones; --
The key turns, and the door upon its hinges groans. [ll. 361-69]
The work is typically early Pre-Raphaelite in its detail, its even lighting, and its bright "blue-greens, purples, violets, which came to be one of the marks of Pre-Raphaelite painting" (Watkinson 39), and in its close attention to nature. Hunt wrote of his painting,
I am limited to architecture and night effect, but I purpose after this to paint an out-of-door picture, with a foreground and background, abjuring altogether brown foliage, smoky clouds, and dark corners, direct on the canvas itself, with every detail I can see, and with the sunlight brightness of the day itself.

The first official shows of painting inscribed P.R.B. – whose meaning had not been revealed to the public – took place in London in 1849. Rossetti exhibited The Girlhood of Mary Virgin at Free Exhibition at Hyde Park Corner, also showing it at the Royal Academy with Millais’ Isabella and Hunt’s Rienzi.
The Girlhood of Mary Virgin was Rossetti’s first large-scale painting. Drawing on medieval religious painting, he deployed a complex iconography.

“On the original frame Rossetti had inscribed his sonnet explaining the symbolism [Sonnet I], while a second sonnet [i.e., Sonnet II] . . . was printed in the catalogue of the Free Exhibition.
The picture was reframed in 1864 when DGR was repainting parts of it. He changed “what had been a frame with curved top corners to a rectangular design of the type he had evolved with Madox Brown earlier that decade. The picture was therefore originally more archaic in appearance” DGR then had the two sonnets inscribed next to each other on the frame below the painting.

‘These are symbols. On that close of red

Except the second of its points, to teach
That Christ is not yet born.’

The details of medieval costume and townscape show Rossetti's admiration of the Flemish artists Van Eyck and Memling.The angular gestures, unsettling facial expressions and abrupt perspective are characteristics of the early phase of the Pre-Raphaelite style. These qualities emulated the 'primitive' qualities of early Italian and Flemish art.

The furore against the Pre-Raphaelites began when Rossetti showed Ecce Ancilla Domini! At the National Institution in April 1850. His brother summarized his approach to the representation of religious themes by describing this painting as a ‘vehicle for representing ideas’. It was intended as part of diptych, the second panel of which would have shown the Virgin’s death, though it was never executed. The critics found this painting disturbing because it was too innovative and daring.
The iconography is curious, with the Virgin shown semi-prostrate. The use of a most untraditional palette virtually reduced to primary colors (white is dominant, whereas the Virgin is normally associated with blue) unleashed the fury of the critics. The atmosphere is unreal but the almost anguished expression Rossetti gives to the Virgin is very human. The painting was an innovative rendering of the theme of the Annunciation. One critic describe the painter as ‘the high priest of this retrograde school’

This is the artist's second watercolour, and originally formed part of a large design for Kate the Queen, which was destroyed by Rossetti but of which four fragments remain. The subject was taken from Browning's poem 'Pippa Passes'. The entire composition was to represent a queen sitting among many maidens in a 'painted gallery'.

Black pen and ink over pencil, with ink wash, on paper.

The simple message of the 'parable' is that while the young man assists his beloved with her self-portrait, the mirror ('Love's Mirror') improves on art by reflecting an image of the two lovers together. Whether the features of the woman are meant to be those of Elizabeth Siddal is unclear, but the subject can be read as a romanticised image of her in the dual role of Rossetti's model and pupil in the earliest days of their relationship. These is no contemporary reference to this drawing, although it is known to have belonged to the poet Coventry Patmore (possibly as a gift from the artist), who was an intimate associate of the Pre-Raphalites. The model for the young man in the drawing may have been Thomas Woolner.

Giotto Painting the Portrait of DanteGiotto is painting the portrait of Dante on a chapel wall, while Beatrice moves below in a procession of women. Cimabue stands nearby, but Cavalcanti—who is present in the Fogg picture and who also figured in the untraced watercolour—is not here. The picture was to have been the first in a Dantescan triptych. The other two panels of the triptych would have shown Dante as a Florentine magistrate sentencing Cavalcanti to exile, and Dante at the court of Can Grande della Scala. Sketches toward the latter survive as Dante at Verona .

Dark breakes to dawn. But o'er the deadly blight
Of love deflowered and sorrow of none avail

Can day from darkness ever again take flight?
Ah! gave not these two hearts their mutual pledge,
Under one mantle sheltered 'neath the hedge
In gloaming courtship? And O God! to-day

Can life now take? She cries in her locked heart, -

‘She cries in her locked heart, -“Leave me - I do not know you – go away!’
Rossetti from the poem ‘Found’, that was inspired by the painting of the same name, which was never completed.
Rossetti, who was passionately interested in the poetry of the Italian Renaissance and particularly the works of Dante, began writing at the very outset of his artistic career, in the late 1840s, though his first collection of Poems was not published until 1870. The reason of the lapse in time was because Rossetti had put the manuscripts of his poems in Elizabeth Siddal’s coffin on her premature death in 1862. They were only exhumed seven years later.

The Working Men's College was founded by a group of Christian Socialists led by the Rev. F.D. Maurice in 1854, to supply a liberal education to London working men. As is well known, Ruskin and Rossetti were both associated with the College in its early years.
Art classes were takenby 'Rossetti, Madox Brown, Stacy Marks, Cave Thomas, V. Prinsep, and Arthur Hughes.
Another recollection is given by J.P. Emslie, who joined the drawing class in 1856. It was conducted by three teachers, Ruskin, Rossetti, and Lowes Dickinson. Ruskin taught the beginners, passing them on to Rossetti and Dickinson when they wefe ready to progress to 'water-colour painting and figure-drawing from the Iife:3 Ruskin seems to have been a good teacher, 'patient and indefatigable, [who] greatly interested himself in the development of whatever gift each particular pupil might possess.'4 He was friendly, helpful, and modest, passing the students on to his colleagues with the remark, '1 understand what is good and bad colour, but I wouldn't undertake to teach it, and as to figure painting, it's a thing that requires a lifetime of practice. By contrast, Rossetti liked 'to show by example how to paint, throwing the pencil with apparent recklessness about the paper .. . He was 'tremendously popular with his pupils ... they regarded him personally with great affection. But he did not like his pupils to join any other classes which were not connected with art; when one of them took up the study of algebra, Rossetti 'urged him to give it up, and asked him what use algebra could be to painting."

Portrait of Elizabeth Siddal, 1854
1854 ()
This pen and ink drawing for Allingham's poem presents a distinctive imagining of the text. The notes for the 1897 New Gallery exhibition (no.17) offer the following description: “Small full-length figure of a youth seated at a table and listening in rapt mood to the chaunt of four mystic supernatural women in shadowy forms before him. A design made for the frontispiece of Allingham's Day and Night Songs
As an illustration for William Allingham's ballad The Maids of Elfen-Mere , the picture is involved with the stories of the nixies, or water sprites, out of Northern mythology. These women are regularly associated with the Parcae, or Fates—an association that DGR specifically incorporates into his picture's intense and “enigmatic relationship between the Maidens and their suitor” (Life 87). The ballad and its illustration clearly recall the tradition epitomized for DGR in Keats's La Belle Dame Sans Merci .

DGR was extremely unhappy with the woodcut when he first saw it, and was never completely satisfied; but after initially refusing to see his drawing appear in its woodcut version, he eventually relented and the work was published.

This watercolour represents the scene Dante sees in a dream (the poet appears at top left). Rachel and Leah, from the story of Jacob in the Biblical book of 'Genesis', can be interpreted as allegories of the contemplative and active lives. Rachel, on the left, contemplates her own reflection in the pool of water, while Leah is actively engaged in gathering flowers to adorn herself
Dante, guided through Purgatory by Virgil, dreams of a meadow where Rachel sits on a stone basin above a stream looking at her reflection in the water, while her sister Leah collects branches of honeysuckle with which to make a garland. The figure in the background is Dante.

Dante, InfernoV.114-116
This Rossetti watercolor depicts the scene from Dante's Inferno V. 127-138 where Francesca & Paolo are reading the Arthurian romances of Lancelot and Guinevere which inspired their fateful kiss:
One day, to pass the time away, we read
of Lancelot— how love had overcome him.
We were alone, and we suspected nothing.
And time and time again that reading led
our eyes to meet, and made our faces pale,
and yet one point alone defeated us.
When we had read how the desired smile
was kissed by one who was so true a lover,
this one, who never shall be parted from me,
while all his body trembled, kissed my mouth.
A Gallehault indeed, that book and he
who wrote it, too; that day we read no more.”
The poets Dante and Virgil (centre) encounter the tragic lovers, Paolo and Francesca, swept in the flaming winds of the Second Circle of Hell (right) in punishment for their adulterous love. The left compartment shows a flashback: the lovers are moved to embrace as they read the story of Lancelot and Guenevere.
The flames are Rossetti's invention. They suggest simultaneously the ardours of love and the torments of hell. Although Dante does not mention fires, Rossetti makes the flames blow diagonally in the wind that characterises Dante's Second Circle.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti had drawn the lovers reading, possibly by Leigh Hunt's poem The Story of Rimini rather than Dante, as early as 1846. William Michael Rossetti records that a triptych was planned in November 1849 with the same scenes as in the watercolor but differently ordered: “In the middle, Paolo and Francesca kissing; on the left, Dante and Virgil in the second circle; on the right, the spirits blowing to and fro.” Drawings of the lovers kissing survive which probably date from this time. But it was only in the autumn of 1855 that Rossetti took the subject up again and completed it as this watercolor in one week. He got 35 guineas for it from Ruskin. A finished pencil drawing showing the lovers kissing in front of a halo-shaped window must have been made slightly earlier.
Paolo is in red and it can be seen that the picture in the book he is reading, which closes the circle and leads to the fateful kiss, shows Lancelot also dressed in red. A plucked red rose lies at the lovers' feet. Ruskin, who offered the watercolor to his protégé Ellen Heaton, who had herself commissioned an unspecified subject from the artist, was worried that the boldness of the scene might make it not quite a young lady's drawing: The common-pretty-timid-mistletoe bough kind of kiss was not what Dante meant. Rossetti has thoroughly understood the passage throughout.
Inscribed at the foot of the left frame: “quanti dolci pensier, quanto disio”; at the foot of the right frame: “menò costoro al doloroso passo!”; at the top of central frame: “O lasso!” (Dante, InfernoV.114-116 with Mandelbaum's translation below)
Quando rispuosi, cominciai: “Oh lasso,
quanti dolci pensier, quanto disio
menò costoro al doloroso passo!”
When I replied, my words began: “Alas,
how many gentle thoughts, how deep a longing,
had led them to the agonizing pass!”

The subject comes from the 'Vita Nuova'. Beatrice, disapproving of Dante's attentions to another woman, refuses to greet him when they meet at a marriage feast. Beatrice does not know that he has only pretended to favour the other woman in order to conceal his purer love for her.
In 1855, Rossetti completed "Beatrice Meeting Dante at a Wedding Feast, Denies Him Her Salutation." Again, this is a very crowded painting, full of wedding guests and well-wishers. Dante is dressed in red, symbolic of passion, while Beatrice, with the face of Elizabeth Siddal, is dressed in green, symbolic of life, an ironic color, given Beatrice's status as the dead beloved of Dante. It is a grainy watercolor, which results in bright, almost translucent colors.

Water color painted in 1857, and exhibited in 1858 at Liverpool Academy. Owned by George Rae. St. George appeared in Syria just in time to rescue Princess Sabra, daughter of the King of Syria, from being sacrificed to the dragon. St. George is restling from having slain the dragon, while the Princess, now wholly his, leans on his breast, cutting off a long dark lock of hair to bind upon his helmet. One of Rossetti's early water colors beautifully executed. The dragon's head in the box, the wealth of detail and pattern of the design, and the rich, golden coloring are striking.
ailette.
The ailette (French language for little wing) was a component of thirteenth century knightly armour. Usually made of plate or parchment, ailettes were thick, quadrangular pieces of leather or wood that attached to the shoulders by means of silk or leather cord. Ailettes were usually flat and nearly rectangular in shape, and usually decorated with heraldic designs.
Ailettes made brief appearances between 1290 and 1325 before giving way to more protective joint plates that covered the joint gap in the shoulders.
The purpose of ailettes is a matter of disagreement amongst scholars. Some claim that they enhanced protection to the neck, while othersargue that they were used primarily for decorative and heraldic reasons.

In 1855-56 Rossetti made five designs for illustrations to Moxon's edition of Tennyson, published in 1857. Three of these designs of which this is one, he later carried out in watercolour. The subject is dervied from Tennyson's 'Sir Galahad', inspired by Malory. The four other subjects were 'The Lady of Shalott', 'Mariana in the South' and two from 'The Palace of Art'. This composition shows the strong influence of Burne-Jones.

This watercolour illustrates Tennyson's Sir Galahad -'Between dank stems the forest glows,
I hear a noise of hymns:
Then by some secret shrine I ride;
I hear a voice, but none are there;
The stalls are void, the doors are wide,
The tapers burning fair.
Fair gleams the snowy altar-cloth,
The silver vessels sparkle clean,
The shrill bell rings, the censer swings,
And solemn chants resound between.'

The Lady of Shalott is a magical being who lives alone on an island upstream from King Arthur's Camelot. Her business is to look at the world outside her castle window in a mirror, and to weave what she sees into a tapestry. She is forbidden by the magic to look at the outside world directly. The farmers who live near her island hear her singing and know who she is, but never see her.
The Lady sees ordinary people, loving couples, and knights in pairs reflected in her mirror. One day, she sees the reflection of Sir Lancelot riding alone. Although she knows that it is forbidden, she looks out the window at him. The mirror shatters, the tapestry flies off on the wind, and the Lady feels the power of her curse.
An autumn storm suddenly arises. The lady leaves her castle, finds a boat, writes her name on it, gets into the boat, sets it adrift, and sings her death song as she drifts down the river to Camelot. The locals find the boat and the body, realize who she is, and are saddened. Lancelot prays that God will have mercy on her soul.
This engraving was just one of the illustrations to tennyson's poems provided by the Pre-Raphaelite cicle for an edition published by Moxon. 1857.Rossetti's illustrations for tennyson astonished his collegues and had a far- reaching impact on a wider audieence. The project as a hole helped to define the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, creating the impression of a coherent movement at the very momentwhen the artists were going their serarate ways.

Richly clad, Sir Launcelot leans over the Lady's body as it floats down the river in the barge, lit by flickering candles and a torch held by an unseen figure above. The contrast between the tiny figures of courtiers and the daring close-up of the principal figures adds to the mood of strangeness. The composition may have been suggested by a medieval manuscript illumination from the 14th century 'Lancelot du Lac' in the British Museum.

The painting shows Dante approaching the deceased Beatrice laid out on her burial bier. Rossetti in this image adapts a theme from Dante in which the poet "is led by (the god of) Love...to see the dead Beatrice. Attendants lower a pall laden with symbolic mayflowers, while poppies symbolizing death litter the floor". Rossetti painted two versions of this scene, one in 1856 and another in 1871, in each he has imposed onto the face of Beatrice the features of the object of his affection, in the 1871 image, we recognize Jane Morris. In the 1856 image find Rossetti's wife, Elizabeth Siddal.

Bocca Bociata . , "". 1860- , , .
, , .
Bocca Baciata (1859) is a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti which represents a turning point in his career. It was the first of his pictures of single female figures, and established the style that was later to become a signature of his work. The model was Fanny Cornforth, the principal inspiration for Rossetti's sensuous figures.
The title, meaning "mouth that has been kissed", refers to the sexual experience of the subject and is taken from the Italian proverb written on the back of the painting:
Bocca baciata non perde ventura, anzi rinnova come fa la luna.
‘The mouth that has been kissed does not lose its savour,
indeed it renews itself just as the moon does.’
Rossetti, an accomplished translator of early Italian literature, probably knew the proverb from Boccaccio’s Decameron where it is used as the culmination of the tale of Alatiel: a beautiful Saracen princess who, despite having had sex on perhaps ten thousand occasions with eight separate lovers in the space of four years, successfully presents herself to the King of the Algarve as his virgin bride.
Rossetti explained in a letter to William Bell Scott that he was attempting to paint flesh more fully, and to "avoid what I know to be a besetting fault of mine - & indeed rather common to PR painting - that of stipple in the flesh...Even among the old good painters, their portraits and simpler pictures are almost always their masterpieces for colour and execution; and I fancy if one kept this in view, one might have a better chance of learning to paint at last."
The painting may have been influenced by Millais' portrait of his sister-in-law Sophie Gray, completed two years earlier.

The work known under this title was originally planned to be the central panel of a triptych that was to adorn a cabinet belonging to William Morris.
. .
The flanking panels depicted (on the left) Dante's meeting with Beatrice in Florence, recorded in the Vita Nuova chapter 3, and (on the right) Dante's meeting with Beatrice recorded in the Purgatorio Canto XXX. The central panel was not completed, however, although DGR did finish a pen and ink drawing in which all the elements of the original conception are depicted. This drawing is now in the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery. The unfinished oil on panel is in the Tate Gallery, and there is a pencil study on the verso of the unfinished watercolor of The Gate of Memory.
The work is completely symbolic. The central figure is Love who is holding a sundial. In the finished drawing this figure wears a pilgrim's hat, an accoutrement that recalls Dante's preoccupation with the idea of the pilgrim (see especially the Vita Nuova chapters 40-41). He stands against a hieratic background divided along a diagonal running from upper right to lower left. In the upper left quadrant is the head of Christ, figured as the sun, looking down across a heavily stylized field of sun rays that emanate from the circle containing his head. His gaze is directed toward the figure of Beatrice, whose face is inscibed in a crescent moon in the lower right quadrant against a background of stars.
The picture is a symbolistic representation of the death of Beatrice and the meaning of that death. As the central panel of the projected triptych, that death stood “between” the two salutations given to Dante by Beatrice. Grieve says that the picture “represents the essential truth of both the Vita Nuova and the Divina Commedia, that Love is the generating force of the universe” (see the 1984 Tate catalogue The Pre-Raphaelites, 179). In his left hand the figure of Love holds a bow and arrow, in his right the sundial which points at the ninth hour, the hour of Christ's and of Beatrice's death alike. Ainsworth says that the work specifically illustrates the Vita Nuova chapter XXVIII, “when the Lord God of justice called my most gracious lady unto Himself” (see Ainsworth, “DGR's ‘Dantis Amor,’” 72).
The work is deeply literary, its most obvious reference point being the last line of Dante's Paradiso (“L'Amor che muove il sole e l'altre stelle”. Almost equally important is the Vita Nuova, as the inscription surrounding Christ's head indicates (“qui est per omnia seacula benedictus”); these are the concluding lines of Dante's spiritual autobiography. In its completed form, as the finished drawing at Birmingham shows, Beatrice's head was to have been circled with the immediately preceding words from Dante's autobiography: “quella beata Beatrice che mira continualmente nella faccia di colui.”
The title has a double significance, with the genitive case signalling both Dante's love (for Beatrice, for Love, for God) and Rossetti's (for Dante as the emblem of visionary art, and for Love as idea and experience). DGR's work is a move to re-imagine Dante's love-ideal in a secondary devotional act. As in his various pastiche texts—in this case the reference would be to “Piangendo star con l'anima smarrita”— the picture involves a kind of magical act whose aim is to recover Dante's spiritual values for a more secular world. In DGR's case, art becomes not so much the vehicle of those values as their incarnation.
For further information see the commentary for the Tate Gallery oil.
Production History DGR went to the Morris's house in Upton in October 1860 to do this picture. The drawing on the back of The Gate of Memory may have been done at that time, though Ainsworth thinks it is a later production (see Ainsworth, “DGR's ‘Dantis Amor,’” 70). The finished drawing dates from 1860 as well. Left unfinished at that time, the oil picture was returned to DGR in 1863 and worked on again. When it was sold to the dealer Gambart in 1865 DGR had it placed in its striking frame.
Literary The text directly related to this picture is Dante's “Sonnet. On the ninth of June 1290”. Electronic Archive Edition: 1 Source File: s117.raw.xml
Description: The central figure in this picture is Love, who is holding what would have been a sundial (if the picture had been completed). He stands against a decorative background divided along a diagonal running from upper right to lower left. In the upper left quadrant is the head of Christ, figured as the sun, looking down across a heavily stylized field of sun rays that emanate from the circle surrounding his head. His gaze is directed toward the figure of Beatrice, whose face is inscribed in a crescent moon in the lower right quadrant against a background of stars.
This picture, which was not completed, was to have been the central panel of three for a cabinet at William Morris's Red House, Bexley Heath. The cabinet is still there, but some time before August 1863, the two finished panels were removed and made into a diptych with a narrow central separator where a schematic form of the figure of Love (as depicted in this work) appears. This two-panel work is The Salutation of Beatrice,

In 1862, after Elizabeth Siddal's death, Walter Knewstub went to work for Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Knewstub had a humorous, easy going temperament and fitted in well to Rossetti's uncotiventional household in Cheyne Walk. Sir John Rothenstein, the artist's grandson, takes up the story:
Walking together, Rossetti and Knewstub saw a young woman whose beauty moved them deeply; they followed her home and asked her father for his permission to call again and make portraits of her. Deepty suspicious of "artists", he consented with reluctance. My grand father fell in love with her and, anxious to remove her from a bohemian circle around Rossetti (she was quickly acclaimed as one of the Pre-Raphaelite "stunners"), he married her before he could maintain her otherwise than precariously.
The model for this sensuous, Rossettian picture was Emily Renshaw, the artists wife. Knewstub met her when he was working as an assistant to Rossetti.
The marriage to Emily seems to have caused a breach between Knewstub and Rossetti. John Rothenstein suggests that Knewstub's sense of propriety was offended when Rossetti used her head for the semi-naked figure Venus Verticordia. In addition Knewstub's salary as Rossetti's assistant was never paid. Knewstub could probably tolerate this as an easy-going.

Titian's Alphonse Ferrare and Laura de Dianti (Musée du Louvre, Paris)
This is one of a series of pictures, commencing with Bocca Baciata (1859, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), that features voluptuous young women with long flaming tresses, absorbed in their own thoughts. An object of pure sensuality, Fazio's mistress is lost in reverie as she gazes at herself in the mirror and idly plaits her golden hair.
The subject is inspired by the poetry of Fazio degli Uberti (1326-1360), addressing his Lady, Agniola of Verona, which Rossetti had included in his Early Italian Poets in 1861. Fazio's description of his mistress's beauty (as translated by Rossetti) conforms extremely closely to Rossetti's image, for which he used his own mistress, Fanny Cornforth, as model:
I look at the amorous beautiful mouth,
The spacious forehead which her locks enclose,
The small white teeth, the straight and shapely nose,
And the clear brows of a sweet pencilling.
(18-21)
I look at her white easy neck, so well
From shoulders and from bosom lifted out;
And her round cleft chin, which beyond doubt
No fancy in the world could have design'd.
(35-8)
As can be gathered from these lines, the poem is specifically about the act of looking. The male poet declares himself ensnared by the woman's beauty, yet the woman can exert this power only as a result of his reciprocal observation. Aurelia (the name was presumably chosen for its classical connotations) exudes a powerful erotic appeal, emphasised in the picture by her red lips, flowing red hair and exposed shoulder and neck. Her dreamy expression and self-absorbtion render her entirely passive, the object of the artist's gaze.
Rossetti described the picture as 'chiefly a piece of colour' (quoted in Wilton, p.100), and certainly the painting displays a combination of warm colours, rich glazes and contrasting textures, clearly inspired by Venetian art. Rossetti greatly admired Titian, and much of his work of this period is said to have been influenced by Titian's Alphonse Ferrare and Laura de Dianti (Musée du Louvre, Paris). Comparisons can also be drawn with Whistler, since the subject, pose, mood and colouring of this work share much in common with Whistler's Symphony in White No.2: The Little White Girl of 1864

Rossetti again represented Lizzie as Dante's Beatrice in one of his most famous works, Beata Beatrix, (1864-1870) which he painted as a memorial to Lizzie after her death. This piece also mimicked the death of Dante's love in his autobiographical work, Vita Nuova. In the work, amidst a yellow haze of relatively indistinct shapes, including Florence's Ponte Vecchio and the figures of Dante and Love, Lizzie sits, representing Dante's Beatrice. With an upturned chin and closed eyes, Lizzie appears keenly aware of her impending fate, death. A bird, which serves as the messenger of death, places a poppy in her hands. Critics have praised the piece for its emotional resonance, which can be felt simply through the work's moving coloring and composition. The true history of Rossetti and his beloved wife further deepens its meaning; although their love had waned at that point, Lizzie still exerted a powerful influence on the artist.

The first of his wombats, named Top, was a frequent guest at his dinner table, where it habitually fell asleep in the centerpiece. Top is believed to have been the inspiration for the character of the dormouse in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
This intimate watercolour of Annie Miller is different in style from William Holman Hunt’s painting of her, The Awakening Conscience, made ten years before (which is on display in the 1840 Gallery). It reads less like a story and more like a poem or music. Miller is swathed in yellow in the manner of a Renaissance portrait to emphasise her ‘bodily beauty’, as Rossetti termed it, and the beauty of colour. A later oil version was named after the woman most famous for the enchanting power of her appearance, Helen of Troy

John Mitchell, of Bradford, commissioned the work in late 1863, when DGR made a chalk study of the subject. DGR worked hard at the picture in 1864 and must have brought it to some state of near completion in 1865. Up to this point the picture centered in the face of its first model, and its character can be seen best in two early sketches, the splendid study in the Fitzwilliam manuscript of The House of Life and the more finished study in the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery. Early in 1867 he was repainting Venus with Alexa Wilding as his model. At that point he must have introduced the labels in the upper right that were to bear the text of the sonnet he wrote for the picture in 1868. The labels, one with the text of the sonnet, appear in the two chalk studies he made for the painting, one done for Leyland, the other for Graham. DGR changed his mind about placing the text in the finished oil and water-colour replicas, however.
Study For Graham.
The painting epitomizes the ambiguities that invest so many of the highly decorative female portraits that DGR produced, from Bocca Baciata , The Blue Bower , Fair Rosamond , The Beloved , and Monna Vanna to a late work like Astarte Syriaca . Ruskin's comment, that “certain conditions of non-sentiment . . . underlie all you are doing now,” goes to the heart of the matter, for these female figures radiate at once great erotic power, great worldliness, and great indifference. They seem as well, perhaps paradoxically, great spiritual presences, although by no means morally sympathetic. William Sharp's descriptive analysis of the present painting is much to the point: “The Venus of this picture is no Aphrodite, fresh and white and jubilant from the foam of Idalian seas, nor is she Love incarnate or human passion; but she is a queen of Love who loves not herself, a desire that is unsatiable and remorseless, absolute, supreme. . . . She is the Lust of the Flesh that perisheth not, though around her loves and lives and dreams are evermore becoming as nought”.

This is one of a series of decorative pictures of beautiful and sensual women, which Rossetti produced in the mid 1860s. The model is Alexa Wilding, who sat for some of Rossetti's best-known works, including La Ghirlandata (1873, Guildhall Art Gallery, Corporation of London) and The Blessed Damozel (1875-8, Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts). The spiral pearl clasp in her flowing auburn hair and the red coral necklace appear frequently in Rossetti's pictures of women. Along with the sweeping movement of her arms, the green rosettes on her shoulder and the floral earrings, they serve to accentuate the picture's circular composition. The heavily embroidered white and gold drapery is used in other pictures of this date, including Monna Rosa (untraced). The enormous sleeve recalls Raphael's portrait of Giovanna of Aragon in the Louvre.
Rossetti originally called the picture Venus Veneta, and intended it to represent 'a Venetian lady in a rich dress of white and gold, - in short the Venetian ideal of female beauty' (quoted in a letter dated 27 September 1866, Doughty & Wahl, II, p.606). After the picture was finished he changed the title to Monna Vanna, denoting a 'vain woman', a name taken from Dante's Vita Nuova, which Rossetti had translated in October 1848.

Michelangelo's "Dawn" in Medici Chapel.
EPIMETHEUS was the Titan god of afterthought and excuses. He and his brother Prometheus were given the task of populating the earth with animals and men. However, Epimetheus quickly exhausted the supply of gifts allotted for the task in the equipment of animals, leaving Prometheus' masterpiece, mankind, completely helpless. As a result the Titan brother was forced to steal fire from heaven to arm them. Zeus was angered by this theft and ordered the creation of Pandora, the first woman, as a means to deliver evil into the house of man. Despite the warnings of his brother, Epimetheus happily received her as his bride, but as soon as she arrived she lifted the lid of a jar entrusted her by the gods, releasing a plague of harmful daimones (spirits) to trouble mankind. Only Hope (Elpis) remained behind to succor the unfortunate race. Epimetheus' name was derived from the Greek words epi-, epeita, and mêtis, and means "afterthought" or "late counselling." Pindar calls Afterthought (Epimetheus) the father of Excuse (Prophasis). He was the proverbial fool.

LA DONNA DELLA FINESTRA
Page 160, “D.G. Rossetti,” by H.C. Marillier, 1899. “La Donna della Finestra.” “Two studies were made in 1870. This one may be slightly the earlier of the two.” p.197. “It shows the figure only, and differs in some respects, espec- ially the arrangement of the hands”, from the real picture. “The Lady of Pity.”
The Lady of Pity
The painting illustrates the text in the later part of the Vita Nuova when Dante is grieving over the loss of Beatrice and suddenly sees “a young and very beautiful lady, who was gazing upon me from a window with a gaze full of pity, so that the very sum of pity appeared gathered together in her” (see DGR's translation The New Life).

The subject is taken from the opening of Act IV of Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare. Mariana, suffering from rejection by her lover, Angelo, is engrossed by the boy's song, 'Take, O Take, those lips away', which Rossetti inscribed on the frame. The pageboy was posed for by Willie Graham, the son of William Graham who commissioned the picture.
'Lo! It is done. Above the enthroning throat The mouth's mould testifies of voice and kiss, The shadowed eyes remember and forsee. Her face is made her shrine. Let all men note That in all years (O love thy gift is this!) That they would look on her must come to me.'

La Girlandata 1873.
WMR's early commentary on the picture is much to the point: “The name La Ghirlandata may be translated ‘The Garlanded Lady,’ or ‘The Lady of the Wreath.’ The personage is represented singing, as she plays on a musical instrument; two youthful angels listen. The flowers which are prominent in the picture were intended by my brother for the poisonous monkshood: I believe he made a mistake, and depicted larkspur instead. I never heard him explain the underlying significance of this picture: I suppose he purposed to indicate, more or less, youth, beauty, and the faculty for art worthy of a celestial audience, all shadowed by mortal doom” ( WMR, DGR: Designer and Writer, 86-87 ). But it seems quite clear that the picture is also a (so to speak) Venetian rendering of Keats's singing and garlanded “Belle Dame Sans Merci”. The picture thus connects back to some of DGR's earliest work, such as the drawing of La Belle Dame Sans Merci as well as to several of the late, ominous pictures, like Ligeia Siren.
DGR was working on the picture in early July 1873, and by the middle of the month it had been paid for by William Graham (£840) and was, DGR told Charles Howell, “well advanced”. On August 23 he wrote to Watts-Dunton that “I have now nearly finished [a picture] I call La Ghirlandata. It contains three heads—a lady playing on a harp and two angels listening—and an infinity of other material—and in brilliancy is more like the Beloved than any other picture of mine you have seen. It belongs to Graham, who wants it in Scotland, but perhaps I may send it for a few days to London to show to a few”. He described the picture to Treffry Dunn in these terms: “The one I am doing for him now is not B[lesse]d Dam[oze]l but that figure playing on the queer old harp which I drew from Miss W[ilding] when you were here with her. The two heads of little May are at the top of the picture. It will really be a successful thing I am sure now, and is getting fast towards completion, but I have not yet got the frame. It ought to put Graham in a good humour and I am glad he is to have it as he is the only buyer I have who is worth a damn.” And to William Bell Scott he wrote even more enthusiastically: “For some six weeks past I have been at work solely on a picture now just finished and called La Ghirlandata—about 4 feet by 3. It is a woman playing on a sort of solid harp I have—an instrument stringed on both sides and very paintable in form. Behind her two angels lean through foliage and listen, and there is an immensity of work in the picture which is quite full of flowers and leaves all most carefully done from nature. It is the greenest picture in the world I believe—the principal figure being dressed in green and completely surrounded with glowing green foliage. I believe it is my very best picture—no inch of it worse than another.”

When Frederick Stephens was preparing his article on DGR's new works for The Athenaeum, eventually published on August 14, 1875, DGR supplied him with this commentary: “Dîs Manibus. The title here suggests the subject—that of a Roman widow seated in the funeral vault beside her husband's cinerary urn, the inscription on which is headed with the invariable words as given above; and playing on two harps (as seen in some classical examples) an elegy ‘to the Divine Manes.’ She is robed in white—the mourning of noble ladies in Rome. The antique form of the harps is rendered in tortoiseshell chiefly with fittings of ebony or dark horn embossed in silver. The harp on which her right hand plays is wound with wild roses; and beneath the urn, across the wall of green marble, is a large festoon of garden roses, repeating as it were the festoon to be almost universally found on such urns and which this one displays round its inscription. About the urn is wound the widow's wedding-girdle of silver, dedicated to the dead as to the living husband. The moment chosen must be supposed to belong to those special occasions on which the Romans solemnized mortuary rites, and which recurred at intervals during the year” ( Fredeman, Correspondence, 75.93 ).
The painting is particularly important because of a set of strange and suggestive relationships that it has with other works by DGR that date from 1872-1877, especially Veronica Veronese, La Ghirlandata, and A Sea Spell. These four pictures share a number of features, motivic and compositional, even as their titles and nominal conceptions are very different. Considered together, they exhibit as it were four facets or aspects of a single iconic figure of highly ambiguous import.
For The Roman Widow in particular, DGR's own title—Dis Manibus—connects it to his trenchant epigram on Flaubert, written in 1880 after DGR had read of Flaubert's death. Titled by DGR “Dis Manibus”, the epigram draws a parallel between the decadence of Nero's Rome and the decadence of the Second Empire. DGR's treatment of all these materials draws his work into the same dark vortex, a fact underscored in the epigram, where the dying words of two Roman emperors, Vitellius and Nero, represent an antithesis of the glorious and the dreadful.
All of these pictures focus on a musical icon that traditionally represents an ideal order aesthetically pursued. Pater's famous pronouncement in “The School of Giorgione”, that “all art aspires to the condition of music”, is certainly being represented here. But in DGR's case the music—and therefore the practice of art—bears as well terrible meanings that Pater's work does not bring forward in this way.DGR began the picture around October 1873, as his letter to Leyland of October 4, describing the plan of the work indicates: “This I have cartooned from nature and am now beginning to paint it. It is called Dis Manibus—the dedicatory inscription to the Manes, the initials of which (D. M.) we find heading the epitaphs in Roman cinerary urns. In the picture, a lady sits in the ‘Columbarium’ beside her husband's urn which stands in a niche in the wall, wreathed about with roses and having her silver marriage-girdle hanging among them. Her dress is white—the mourning of nobles in Rome—and as she sits she plays on two harps (one in her arm and one lying beside her) her elegy addressed ‘Dis Manibus.’ The white marble background and urn, the white drapery and white roses will combine I trust to a lovely effect, and the expression will I believe be as beautiful and elevated as any I have attempted. Do you like me to consider this picture as yours at 800 guineas?” ( Fredeman, Correspondence, 73.293 ). On June 9, 1874 he told Hake “of a picture (now just on completion, having been some time delayed till roses could be got) called Dîs Manibus,” His account of the picture to Hake adds some important details, “representing a Roman widow by the cinerary urn of her husband, playing her elegy on two small harps, a hand to each. I think it is one of my best & indeed shows advance: I should like to have shown you the classical drapery of which it very chiefly consists. I perched your photograph of the Fates before my eyes while I painted it & tried to get a faint reflex of that kind of beauty.

A SEA-SPELL.
(For a Picture)
Her lute hangs shadowed in the apple-tree,
While flashing flashing fingers weave the sweet-strung spell
Between its chords; and as the wild notes swell,
The sea-bird for those branches leaves the sea.
But to what sound her listening ear stoops she?
What netherworld gulf-whispers doth she hear,
In answering echoes from what planisphere,
Along the wind, along the estuary?
She sinks into her spell: and when full soon
Her lips move and she soars into her song,
What creatures of the midmost main shall throng
In furrowed surf-clouds to the summoning rune:
Till he, the fated mariner, hears her cry,
And up her rock, bare-breasted, comes to die?

The painting is one of the most important among the many Venetian-inspired pictures that dominate DGR's artistic output during the 1860s and 1870s. Elaborately decorative, it is an excellent example of the abstract way DGR handles ostensibly figurative subject matter. As its various commentators have noticed, the picture represents “the artistic soul in the act of creation” (Ainsworth 97). It is a visionary portrait of that soul as it had been incarnated in the practise of Paolo Veronese.
Begun in January 1872 without any explicit commission, the painting was bought by Frederick Leyland as soon as DGR told him about it, and described his intentions for the work. DGR completed it in March of the same year and sent it to Leyland at that time.
The French quotation on the picture frame, supposedly from The Letters of Girolamo Ridolfi, was actually written by DGR or possibly Swinburne. It constitutes a kind of explanation of some of the picture's most important iconographical features: “Suddenly leaning forward, the Lady Veronica rapidly wrote the first notes on the virgin page. Then she took the bow of her violin to make her dream reality; but before commencing to play the instrument hanging from her hand, she remained quiet a few moments, listening to the inspiring bird, while her left hand strayed over the strings searching for the supreme melody, still elusive. It was the marriage of the voices of nature and the soul—the dawn of a mystic creation” (this is Rowland Elzea's translation of the French text on the picture frame). The “marriage” noted here is emblematically represented in the figure of the uncaged bird, which stands simultaneously as a figure of nature and of the soul.
Sarah Phelps Smith has explicated the picture's flower symbolism: the bird cage is decorated with camomile, or “energy in adversity”; the primroses symbolize youth and the daffodils (narcissi) stand for reflection or meditation. But David Nolta argues that the camomile is in fact celandine, which in herbal lore was a notable specific for diseases of the eyes. (Nolta's autobiographical reading of the picture is greatly strengthened by this view of the flower symbolism.)
The green velvet dress in the picture was borrowed from Jane Morris, the background drapery is a Renaissance brocade, the jewelry is Indian silver, the violin is from DGR's collection of musical instruments. The fan hanging at her side is the same as that which appears extended in Monna Vanna . The musical manuscript showing the first bars of a composition seems in debt to George Boyce, to whom DGR wrote in March 1872 asking if he “had any old written music & could you lend me such” (quoted in Surtees, A Catalogue Raisonné I. 128).
The french inscription attributed to Girolamo Ridolfi is almost certainly the work of Swinburne.

This unfinished work is extremely striking because of the uniform treatment of the gold background and the gold drapery of the damozel. The modelled head and hair appear to float not so much on as in this flat and shallow gold surface. The effect is visually contradictory, as if DGR had introduced a realistic and even voluptuous image into the kind of space typical of iconic and even byzantine work.
The picture was begun as an early version of The Blessed Damozel, but DGR cut it downto a small single head pictureâ, as he told his studio assistant Treffry Dunn, after he had begun the larger picture again (quoted in Surtees, vol. 1, 142). DGR recovered the picture (probably in 1876, when he gave the picture to the Cowper-Temples) in order to have its background completely gilded, as it in fact comes down to us. Both the gold background and the lilies are later additions, and the outer edges of the hair were also reworked when the gilding was added. In reworking the picture DGR left the damozel's gold dress unfinished. Nonetheless, since he gave the picture as a present to the Cowper-Temples, DGR must have thought it completed.
The picture not only forms part of the sequence of Blessed Damozel paintings and drawings, but relates as well to the three-quarter length work known as Sancta Lilias .

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, greatly admired von Holst's work and according to Browne "considered him a significant link between the older generation of English Romantic painters, such as Fuseli and William Blake, and the Pre-Raphaelite circle"

Rossetti completed the sonnet entitled “La Bella Mano” a year after the painting, suggesting the visual representation may have been the inspiration for the poem. The painting represents a personification of love—Venus assisted by her winged attendants. The canvas is rich in details all contributing to the theme of love—both spiritual and earthly—as represented in the central figure. The effect of a halo is created by the convex mirror showing the bed, which entices a present or future lover.
LA BELLA MANO
(For a Picture)
O lovely hand, that thy sweet self dost lave
In that thy pure and proper element,
When erst the Lady of Love's high advent
Was born, and endless fires sprang from the wave: -
Even as her Lovers to her their offerings gave,
For thee the jewelled gifts they bear; while each
Looks to those lips, of music-measured speech
The fount, and of more bliss than man may crave.
In royal wise ring-girt and bracelet-spann'd
A flower of Venus' own virginity,
Go shine among thy sisterly sweet band;
In maiden-minded converse delicately
Evermore white and soft; until thou be,
O hand! heart-handsel'd in lover's hand.

Rossetti used his most famous poem as the inspiration for this painting 25 yearsafter publishing it. He wrote the first version of \\'The Blessed Damozel\\' in 1847.The theme was inspired by Dante Alighieri.The maiden leans out of her balcony in heaven while behind her newly reconciled lovers embrace one another among the deathless roses of heaven. She seesher lover lying fully corporal on earth and yearns for his death, so that he mightjoin her forever in heaven.The seven stars are The Pleiads. One star is hidden behind her head.
Mythology:
The Pleiads were the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione. "The lost pleiad"is Electra, who veiled her face at the burning of Troy, appearing to mortals
afterwards only as a comet...
