EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How They Met Themselves" transports viewers back to the mid-19th century, capturing a moment of mystery and intrigue. Created by the renowned artist Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti, this pen and Indian ink masterpiece measures 20x21.3 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The image depicts a couple who stumble upon an extraordinary sight: their own glowing apparitions standing before them. The double likeness appears faint yet mesmerizing, as if emerging from another realm. The woman's hand rests on her partner's arm while they both turn their heads in astonishment, trying to comprehend this otherworldly encounter. Rossetti's work embodies the essence of Pre-Raphaelite art with its attention to intricate details and emotional depth. Through his skilled use of light and shadow, he creates an ethereal atmosphere that adds to the enigmatic nature of this scene. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where reality intertwines with fantasy. It sparks our imagination and invites us to ponder questions about love, fate, and destiny. How did these two individuals come face-to-face with their own apparitions? What does it mean for their future? This remarkable artwork reminds us that sometimes life presents us with inexplicable moments that challenge our understanding of what is possible. It serves as a testament to Rossetti's artistic genius and continues to captivate audiences today through its timeless beauty
