内容简介

One of Victorian Englands most charismatic characters, Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted and wrote with equal passion. He was similarly passionate in his personal life: his ethereal artist-wife, his earthy blond mistress, and the ravishing Jane Morris are all immortalized in his voluptuous images. The melodrama of Rossettis life, darkened by rumours of suicide, adultery, and addiction, has often overshadowed his striking accomplishments as a painter. This evocative volume vividly illuminates his life and his art. Two hundred sixty-five illustrations - 140 in full colour - capture the lush hues and elaborate imagery of his romantic canvases. The astute text provides - at long last - a clear and candid account of the artist that carefully untangles fact from myth. Reminiscences from the artists great-grandniece Helen Guglielmini provide an engaging glimpse of life with the Rossettis.
