Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), The Salutation of Beatrice, signed with monogram and dated ‘1869’ (lower left) and inscribed with a sonnet from Dante’s Vita Nuova (upper left, in a cartouche), oil on canvas, in the artist’s original frame, 22½ x 18½ in. (57.1 x 47 cm.), Image Source: Christie’s
I wonder if the sonnet is one quoted by a friend of Dante’s to Dante in his Divine Comedy?! Must look it up. Meanwhile, ALW on the pre-Raphaelites will be saved up and relished soon! Thanks for sharing and many blessings to you in the New Year, Sunny!
We just watched the Andrew Lloyd-Webber program. I didn’t know he’s such an avid collector of Pre-Raphaelite art. As wealthy as he became from his music, why not?

He is quite an interesting character. I cannot even imagine being surrounded by Pre-Raphaelite paintings in my own home! 🙂
