Dante G. Rossetti

Dante Gabriel Rossetti:
This is that Lady Beauty, in whose praise
Thy voice and hand shake still,--long known to thee
By flying hair and fluttering hem,--the beat
Following her daily of thy heart and feet,
How passionately and irretrievably,
In what fond flight, how many ways and days!

"Soul's Beauty" (1866)

I love your art.

Non apprezzo molto la pittura dei preraffaelliti, in generale non condivido il loro concetto di arte. Eppure Dante lo adoro. Le donne dei suoi quadri mi affascinano. In particolare Proserpina. Dev'essere l'eccezione che conferma la regola :)

Whenever you see a georgeous redhead with delicate features, Rossetti's painting his wife Elizabeth Siddal. A lady with black glossy hair and scary eyebrows is Jane Burden Morris, the wife of his friend William Morris. Rossetti and Jane got along a little too well together... poor William. Rossetti also sometimes painted a lady named Fanny Cornforth, who was also one of his lovers. She's sort of a chunky redhead. He was quite the trouble maker.

those are different people.Since Rosetti was a depressed/neurotic artist, it was expressed in most of his work.

He, like many other artists/poets of his type saw a sorrow that came with beauty.

rinoa is correct.

Also, those are characters he paints:

The red-haired woman combing her hair and looking in the mirror is the legendary Lilith.

Har name was Elizabeth. She was Rossetti's wife...he was completely obsessed by this woman and he continued to paint her aven after her death. She committed suicide after a miscarriage.

I seem to recall her being a prostitute named Sibila. Some of his early paintings used his sister, but the majority used this woman as a model.

who is the person in all of the paintings? he/she looks so tortured so sad.
