- Biography
- Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti (b. 1828 d. 1882) was an English painter and poet who helped found the Pre-Raphelite Brotherhood in 1848. Rossetti was central to linking poetry, painting and social idealism in the movement. The artworks depicted religious, moral, and medieval subjects treated as non-academic manner. Rossetti’s later works often depicted sensual female subjects with rich colours and symbolism seen in works such as Prosperine (1874).
