EDITORS COMMENTS
Astarte Syriaca, 1877, (c1912) by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is a captivating portrait that showcases the artist's mastery of color and his deep connection to medieval influences. The painting, housed in the Manchester Art Gallery, depicts the goddess Venus with striking beauty and sensuality. Rossetti's model for Astarte Syriaca was Jane Morris, with whom he had a passionate relationship. Jane became one of Rossetti's muses and inspired many of his works. This particular piece captures her ethereal allure and embodies the romantic ideals that were central to Rossetti's artistic vision. Dante Gabriel Rossetti was not only an accomplished painter but also a renowned poet, illustrator, and translator. He co-founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 alongside William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. His admiration for Italian writer Dante Alighieri is evident in both his name choice and artistic style. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Rossetti married Elizabeth Siddal who tragically passed away shortly after their wedding. The grief-stricken artist painted "Beata Beatrix" as a tribute to her memory. This print from Lucien Pissarro's book "Rossetti - Masterpieces in Colour" offers viewers a glimpse into Rossetti's rich body of work while highlighting the profound influence he had on British art during the 19th century.
