EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing, titled "The Return of Tibullus to Delia," was created by the renowned English painter and poet, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in 1851. The work features an enchanting portrait of Elizabeth Siddal, who was a frequent model and muse for Rossetti during his formative years. Elizabeth Siddal, born in 1834, was a beautiful and talented woman who captured the imagination of many artists and writers of the time. Her ethereal beauty and expressive features were often depicted in Pre-Raphaelite art, and she became a symbol of the movement's emphasis on naturalism and emotional intensity. In this drawing, Rossetti portrays Elizabeth as Delia, the beloved of the ancient Roman poet Tibullus, who is returning to her after an absence. The scene is imbued with a sense of longing and anticipation, as Tibullus reaches out to embrace Delia, who gazes at him with a mixture of joy and wonder. Rossetti's masterful use of pencil on paper brings the image to life, capturing the delicate textures of Elizabeth's hair and the intricate details of her clothing. The drawing is a testament to Rossetti's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey emotion through art. The Return of Tibullus to Delia is a beautiful and evocative work that showcases the artistic collaboration between Rossetti and his muse, Elizabeth Siddal. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke feelings of love, longing, and wonder.
