EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dante Gabriel Rossetti's famous painting, "The Borgia Family" created in 1863 and later reproduced in 1912. Housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum, this masterpiece depicts Pope Alexander VI, his son Cesare Borgia, and his daughter Lucrezia Borgia. Rossetti, a renowned British poet, illustrator, painter, and translator, co-founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 alongside William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Known for drawing inspiration from medieval influences and Italian writer/poet Dante Alighieri's work (hence his namesake), Rossetti married Elizabeth Siddal who served as his model for the poignant piece "Beata Beatrix". Tragically painted a year after her death. Additionally, he became a founding partner of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. , an esteemed decorative arts firm where he developed a close relationship with William Morris' wife Jane - one of his muses. This illustration is featured in Lucien Pissarro's book "Rossetti - Masterpieces in Colour" published around 1912 by TC & EC Jack and Frederick A Stokes Co. The image beautifully captures the vibrant colors used by Rossetti while showcasing the intricate details of each family member portrayed. With its historical significance rooted in Catholicism during the late 19th century to early 20th century period known as Belle Époque or Gilded Age Europe. "The Borgia Family" serves as both an artistic representation of this influential dynasty and a testament to Rossetti's skillful craftsmanship within the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This print allows viewers to appreciate this remarkable artwork from their own homes or galleries without commercial intentions but rather as an homage to art history itself.
