Early life
The son of émigré Italian scholar
Gabriele Pasquale Giuseppe
Rossetti and his wife Frances Mary
Lavinia Polidori, Gabriel Charles
Dante Rossetti was born in
London, on 12 May 1828. His
family and friends called him
Gabriel, but in publications he put
the name Dante first in honour of
Dante Alighieri. He was the brother
Self-portrait, 1847 of poet Christina Rossetti, critic
William Michael Rossetti, and
author Maria Francesca Rossetti.[2]
His father was a Roman Catholic, at least prior to his marriage, and
his mother was an Anglican; ostensibly Gabriel was baptised as
and was a practising Anglican. John William Polidori, who had Original manuscript of Autumn Song
died seven years before his birth, was Rossetti's maternal uncle. by Rossetti, 1848, Ashley Library
During his childhood, Rossetti was home educated and later
attended King's College School,[3] and often read the Bible, along
with the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, Sir Walter Scott, and Lord Byron.[4]
The youthful Rossetti is described as "self-possessed, articulate, passionate and charismatic"[5] but also
"ardent, poetic and feckless".[6] Like all his siblings, he aspired to be a poet and attended King's College
School, in its original location near the Strand in London. He also wished to be a painter, having shown a
great interest in Medieval Italian art. He studied at Henry Sass' Drawing Academy from 1841 to 1845,
when he enrolled in the Antique School of the Royal Academy, which he left in 1848. After leaving the
Royal Academy, Rossetti studied under Ford Madox Brown, with whom he retained a close relationship
throughout his life.[7]
Following the exhibition of William Holman Hunt's painting The Eve of St. Agnes, Rossetti sought out
Hunt's friendship. The painting illustrated a poem by John Keats. Rossetti's own poem, "The Blessed
Damozel", was an imitation of Keats, and he believed Hunt might share his artistic and literary ideals.
Together they developed the philosophy of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood which they founded along with
John Everett Millais.
The group's intention was to reform English art by rejecting what
they considered to be the mechanistic approach first adopted by the
Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo and
the formal training regime introduced by Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Their approach was to return to the abundant detail, intense
colours, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and
Flemish art.[8][9] The eminent critic John Ruskin wrote:
Career
Beginnings
In 1850, Rossetti met Elizabeth Siddal, an important model for the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Over the next
decade, she became his muse, his pupil, and his passion. They were married in 1860.[14] Rossetti's
incomplete picture Found, begun in 1853 and unfinished at his death, was his only major modern-life
subject. It depicted a prostitute, lifted from the street by a country drover who recognises his old sweetheart.
However, Rossetti increasingly preferred symbolic and mythological images to realistic ones.[15]
For many years, Rossetti worked on English translations of Italian poetry including Dante Alighieri's La
Vita Nuova (published as The Early Italian Poets in 1861). These and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte
d'Arthur inspired his art of the 1850s. He created a method of painting in watercolours, using thick
pigments mixed with gum to give rich effects similar to medieval illuminations. He also developed a novel
drawing technique in pen-and-ink. His first published illustration was "The Maids of Elfen-Mere" (1855),
for a poem by his friend William Allingham, and he contributed two illustrations to Edward Moxon's 1857
edition of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Poems and illustrations for works by his sister Christina Rossetti.[16]
His visions of Arthurian romance and medieval design also inspired William Morris and Edward Burne-
Jones.[17] Neither Burne-Jones nor Morris knew Rossetti, but were much influenced by his works, and met
him by recruiting him as a contributor to their Oxford and Cambridge Magazine which Morris founded in
1856 to promote his ideas about art and poetry.[18][19]
Two young men, projectors of the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, have recently come up
to town from Oxford, and are now very intimate friends of mine. Their names are Morris and
Jones. They have turned artists instead of taking up any other career to which the university
generally leads, and both are men of real genius. Jones's designs are marvels of finish and
imaginative detail, unequalled by anything unless perhaps Albert Dürer's finest works.[18]
That summer Morris and Rossetti visited Oxford and finding the Oxford Union debating-hall under
construction, pursued a commission to paint the upper walls with scenes from Le Morte d'Arthur and to
decorate the roof between the open timbers. Seven artists were recruited, among them Valentine Prinsep
and Arthur Hughes,[20] and the work was hastily begun. The frescoes, done too soon and too fast, began to
fade at once and now are barely decipherable. Rossetti recruited two sisters, Bessie and Jane Burden, as
models for the Oxford Union murals, and Jane became Morris's wife in 1859.[21]
Book arts
Literature was integrated into the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's artistic practice from the beginning
(including that of Rossetti), with many paintings making direct literary references. For example, John
Everett Millais' early work, Isabella (1849), depicts an episode from John Keats' Isabella, or, the Pot of
Basil (1818). Rossetti was particularly critical of the gaudy ornamentation of Victorian gift books and
sought to refine bindings and illustrations to align with the principles of the Aesthetic Movement.[22]
Rossetti's key bindings were designed between 1861 and 1871.[23] He collaborated as a designer/illustrator
with his sister, poet Christina Rossetti, on the first edition of Goblin Market (1862) and The Prince's
Progress (1866). One of Rossetti's most prominent contributions to illustration was the collaborative book,
Poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (published by Edward Moxon in 1857 and known colloquially as the
'Moxon Tennyson'). Moxon envisioned Royal Academicians as the illustrators for the ambitious project,
but this vision was quickly disrupted once Millais, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood,
became involved in the project.[24] Millais recruited William Holman Hunt and Rossetti for the project, and
the involvement of these artists reshaped the entire production of the book. In reference to the Pre-
Raphaelite illustrations, Laurence Housman wrote "[...] The illustrations of the Pre-Raphaelites were
personal and intellectual readings of the poems to which they belonged, not merely echoes in line of the
words of the text."[25] The Pre-Raphaelites’ visualization of Tennyson's poems indicated the range of
possibilities in interpreting written works, as did their unique approach to visualizing narrative on the
canvas.[24]
Pre-Raphaelite illustrations do not simply refer to the text in which they appear; rather, they are part of a
bigger program of art: the book as a whole. Rossetti's philosophy about the role of illustration was revealed
in an 1855 letter to poet William Allingham, when he wrote, in reference to his work on the Moxon
Tennyson:
"I have not begun even designing for them yet, but fancy I shall try the Vision of Sin, and Palace of Art etc.
—those where one can allegorize on one’s own hook, without killing for oneself and everyone a distinct
idea of the poet’s."[26]
This passage makes apparent Rossetti's desire not to just support the poet's narrative, but to create an
allegorical illustration that functions separately from the text as well. In this respect, Pre-Raphaelite
illustrations go beyond depicting an episode from a poem, but rather function like subject paintings within a
text. Illustration is not subservient to text and vice versa. Careful and conscientious craftsmanship is
practiced in every aspect of production, and each element, though qualifiedly artistic in its own right,
contributes to a unified art object (the book).
A new direction
Rossetti's wife, Elizabeth, died of an overdose of laudanum in 1862, possibly a suicide, shortly after giving
birth to a stillborn child.[36][37] Rossetti became increasingly depressed, and on the death of his beloved
Lizzie, buried the bulk of his unpublished poems with her at Highgate Cemetery, though he later had them
dug up. He idealised her image as Dante's Beatrice in a number of paintings, such as Beata Beatrix.[38]
In 1881, Rossetti published a second volume of poems, Ballads and Sonnets, which included the remaining
sonnets from The House of Life sequence.
Decline and
death
The savage reaction of
critics to Rossetti's first
collection of poetry
contributed to a mental
breakdown in June 1872,
and although he joined Jane
Morris at Kelmscott that
September, he "spent his
days in a haze of chloral
and whisky".[50] The next
summer he was much
improved, and both Alexa
Wilding and Jane sat for
him at Kelmscott, where he
created a soulful series of
dream-like portraits.[50] In
Alexa Wilding (1879) 1874, Morris reorganised The Day Dream (1880). The sitter is
his decorative arts firm, Jane Morris.[48][49]
cutting Rossetti out of the
business, and the polite fiction that both men were in residence with
Jane at Kelmscott could not be maintained. Rossetti abruptly left Kelmscott in July 1874 and never
returned. Toward the end of his life, he sank into a morbid state, darkened by his drug addiction to chloral
hydrate and increasing mental instability. He spent his last years as a recluse at Cheyne Walk.
On Easter Sunday, 1882, he died at the country house of a friend, where he had gone in a vain attempt to
recover his health, which had been destroyed by chloral as his wife's had been destroyed by laudanum. He
died of Bright's Disease, a disease of the kidneys from which he had been suffering for some time. He had
been housebound for some years on account of paralysis of the legs, though his chloral addiction is
believed to have been a means of alleviating pain from a botched hydrocele removal. He had been suffering
from alcohol psychosis for some time brought on by the excessive amounts of whisky he used to drown out
the bitter taste of the chloral hydrate. He is buried in the churchyard of All Saints at Birchington-on-Sea,
Kent, England.[51]
Media
Film
Rossetti was played by Oliver Reed in Ken Russell's television film Dante's Inferno (1967). The Pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood has been the subject of two BBC period dramas. The first, The Love School,
(1975) features Ben Kingsley as Rossetti. The second was Desperate Romantics, in which Rossetti is
played by Aidan Turner. It was broadcast on BBC Two on Tuesday, 21 July 2009.[57]
Television
Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) appears in an episode of Cheers as Dante Gabriel Rossetti for his
Hallowe'en costume. His wife Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane appears as Rossetti's sister, Christina. Their son
Frederick is dressed as Spiderman.[58]
Fiction
Gabriel Rossetti and other members of the Rossetti family are characters in Tim Powers' novel "Hide Me
Among the Graves," in which both the Rossettis' uncle John Polidori and Gabriel's wife Lizzie act as hosts
for vampiric beings, and whose influence inspires the artistic genius of the family.
Influence
Rossetti's poem "The Blessed Damozel" was the inspiration for Claude Debussy's cantata La Damoiselle
élue (1888).
John Ireland (1879–1962) set to music as one of his Three Songs (1926), Rossetti's poem "The One Hope"
from Poems (1870).
In 1904 Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) created his song cycle The House of Life from six poems by
Rossetti. One song in that cycle, Silent Noon, is one of Vaughan Williams's best known and most
frequently performed songs.
In 1904, Phoebe Anna Traquair painted The Awakening, inspired by a sonnet from Rossetti's The House of
Life.[59]
There is evidence to suggest that a number of paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) were
influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Rossetti.[60]
