Dante Gabriel Rossetti. - Hardcover
Poet and painter, founder and acknowledged leader of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) has beguiled and intrigued admirers for more than a century with his turbulent life and his romantic imagery.
Rossetti, the English-born son of an Italian political refugee and brother of the poet Christina Rossetti, considered a career as a poet before seeking his fortune as an artist - and succeeding in both occupations. Unable to adapt to the discipline of formal art training, Rossetti ultimately developed a personal style that placed him at the forefront of the Victorian artistic world.
Forty of Rossetti's finest works are reproduced here in large, full-color plates and accompanied by individual commentaries. An illustrated introductory text traces the details of Rossetti's fascinating life and career and sets his art in the context of his day.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From richly coloured watercolours of Medieval themes to oil paintings of beautiful women, Rossetti's works mirror his unconventional life and obsessions, in particular his idealized image of feminine beauty. Many works feature his highly sensuous oil paintings of the models with whom he often conducted tempestuous affairs, including Elizabeth Siddal, whom he eventually married and who died from a drug overdose; and Jane Burder, the wife of William Morris and the subject of the Rossetti painting that holds the world-record price for a Pre-Raphaelite subject. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001445366
