EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dante Gabriel Rossetti's masterpiece, "The Bower Meadow" created between 1850 and 1872. The painting depicts two women immersed in the enchanting melodies of a dulcimer and lute, set against a picturesque landscape backdrop painted in Sevenoaks, Kent. Rossetti, a renowned British poet, illustrator, painter, and translator, co-founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Drawing inspiration from medieval influences and Italian writer Dante Alighieri's works, Rossetti crafted his unique artistic style. He married Elizabeth Siddal, who became his muse for notable pieces such as "Beata Beatrix" painted after her untimely death. Additionally, he formed a close relationship with Jane Morris (William Morris' wife), further fueling his creative endeavors. Lucien Pissarro's illustration of this remarkable artwork can be found in the book "Rossetti - Masterpieces in Colour". Published around 1912 by TC & EC Jack and Frederick A Stokes Co. , London & New York respectively. "The Bower Meadow" encapsulates the essence of both the 19th century Romanticism movement and Rossetti's distinctive style within the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This mesmerizing composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in its harmonious blend of music and nature while appreciating Rossetti's profound contribution to art history.
