  • Dante's Dream: Rossetti's Reading of the Vita Nuova Through the Lens Of
    Dante’s Dream: Rossetti’s Reading of the Vita Nuova Through the Lens of a Double Translation Chiara Moriconi, La Sapienza Università di Roma Abstract Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s work as an interlinguistic and intersemiotic translator of the Vita Nuova reveals much about his characteristic adaptation of Dante to the new sensibility of Victorian poetry and art. After translating the episode of the dream of Beatrice’s death into English, Rossetti goes on to illustrate it in an early watercolor version (1865), and then in a final monumental oil (1871) which will be closely examined in this article. By focusing on both phases of Rossettian translation this article means to show how Rossetti derives from the Florentine a distinctively Dantesque iconographic repertoire which he then develops into a post-Romantic set of poetics. It is precisely in the distance between Dante’s poetry and Rossetti’s double works of art that the latter’s understanding of and autonomy from Dante has to be traced. Keywords: Dante Gabriel Rossetti; Dante Alighieri; Vita Nuova; intersemiotic translation; interlinguistic translation; Victorian literature and art; Pathetic Fallacy One of the most crucial episodes of the Vita Nuova is Beatrice’s death as dreamt by Dante. Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s deep love of Dante Alighieri, inherited from his father Gabriele,1 led him to an early reading and translation into English of this chapter of the Florentine’s ‘rubrica ’. He set to illustrate the passage in 1848. The project, however, was soon laid aside and resumed between 1855 and 1857, when the artist made a watercolor of the same episode, Dante’s Dream at the Time of the Death of Beatrice .

  • Beata Beatrix: La Vita Nuova E I Quadri Di Dante Gabriel Rossetti
    Dante e l’arte 2, 2015 201-226 Beata Beatrix: la Vita Nuova e i quadri di Dante Gabriel Rossetti Veronica Pesce Università di Genova [email protected] Riassunto Il contributo intende proporre un primo percorso attraverso la rilettura della Vita Nuova in ambito preraffaellita, esaminando la raffinata edizione della Vita Nuova illustrata dai quadri di Dante Gabriel Rossetti pubblicata per Roux e Viarengo all’inizio del ’900. L’edi- zione, postuma, non nasce da un preciso progetto illustrativo autoriale, pur accarezzato dal poeta-pittore fin da giovanissimo, ma mette insieme a posteriori le riproduzioni di alcune opere rossettiane a illustrazione del libello dantesco, non senza arbitrarietà. Emerge tutta- via un costante impegno dell’artista su questi soggetti che, accanto al lavoro di traduzione sulla stessa Vita Nuova e sui “poeti primitivi italiani”, e insieme con la sua produzione poetica e letteraria (almeno The Blessed Damozel e Hand and Soul), dimostra una profonda riappropriazione del testo, caratterizzata al contempo da una certa fedeltà letterale non in contraddizione con una rivisitazione profonda in tutt’altro contesto storico-artistico. Parole chiave: Dante Alighieri, Vita Nuova, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Preraffaelliti, Beatrice. Abstract The aim of the paper is to propose a first path through the rereading of the Vita Nuova within the Pre-Raphaelite culture, examining the refined edition of the Vita Nuova illustrata dai quadri di Dante Gabriel Rossetti, published by Roux and Viarengo in early ’900. This posthumous edition is not the result of a specific illustrative authorial project, although the poet-painter had aimed for this since his early age; it is rather an a posteriori and partly arbitrary collection, which puts together the reproductions of some Rossetti’s illustrations from Dante’s pamphlet.

  • Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal(25 July 1829 - 11 February 1862) Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal was an English artists' model, poet and artist who was painted and drawn extensively by artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including Walter Deverell, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais (including Millais' 1852 painting Ophelia) and most of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's early paintings of women. <b>Early Life</b> Named Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall, after her mother, Lizzie was born on 25 July 1829, at the family’s home at 7 Charles Street, Hatton Garden. She was born to Charles Crooke Siddall, who claimed that his family descended from nobility, and Eleanor Evans, a family of both English and Welsh descent. At the time of Lizzie’s birth, her parents were not poverty stricken: her father had his own cutlery- making business. Around 1831, the Siddall family moved to the borough of Southwark, in south London, a less salubrious area than Hatton Garden. It was in Southwark that the rest of Lizzie’s siblings were born: Lydia, to whom Lizzie was particularly close, Mary, Clara, James and Henry. Although there is no record of her having attended school, Lizzie was able to read and write, presumably having been taught by her parents. She developed a love of poetry at a young age, after discovering a poem by Tennyson on a scrap of newspaper that had been used to wrap a pat of butter; this discovery was one of Lizzie’s inspirations to start writing her own poetry.

  • 1862, Accidental Death Lizzie Siddal and the Poetics of the Coroner's
    1862, Accidental Death Lizzie Siddal and the Poetics of the Coroner’s Inquest “Accidentally and casually and by misfortune.” Such was the verdict of an inquest on the death of “Elizabeth Eleanor Rossetti” (née Elizabeth Siddall, later Siddal) held on February 13, 1862, two days after she died having “Accidentally [taken] an overdose of Laudanum.”1 On February 14, the Daily News reported the “Death of a Lady from an Overdose of Laudanum,” including most of the testimonies from the inquest and closing with a more succinct verdict: “The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.” A newspaper in Sheffield printed a similar notice. The coroner and the press seemed to dispose all doubts about the cause of Siddal’s death (Hunt 312). The inquest had been brief and uncomplicated; the case was closed. On February 17, Siddal was buried—along with a notebook of manuscript poems by her recent husband, a bereft Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In 1869, her coffin was famously unclosed, exhumed to recover Rossetti’s book. So had, in the intervening years, the inquest’s verdict of “accidental death” been reopened for scrutiny. Rumors circulated about Lizzie’s death as a possible suicide, whether to end her misery after a recent stillborn daughter, to lash out at Rossetti for emotional abuse and philandering, or to make a desperate cry for help. Oscar Wilde suggested that an exasperated Rossetti had murdered Lizzie by pushing a bottle of laudanum into her hands (Hawksley 205). In her early biography The Wife of Rossetti, Violet Hunt includes an alleged suicide

    PRESS Press Contact Rachel Eggers Manager of Public Relations [email protected] RELEASE 206.654.3151 APRIL 16, 2019 VICTORIAN RADICALS: FROM THE PRE-RAPHAELITES TO THE ARTS & CRAFTS MOVEMENT OPENS AT SEATTLE ART MUSEUM JUNE 13, 2019 Wide-ranging exhibition reveals how three generations of artists revolutionized the visual and decorative arts in Britain SEATTLE, WA – The Seattle Art Museum presents Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts & Crafts Movement (June 13–September 8, 2019), exploring how three generations of rebellious British artists, designers, and makers responded to a time of great social upheaval and an increasingly industrial world. Organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Birmingham Museums Trust, the exhibition features 150 works from the collection of the city of Birmingham—many of which have never been shown outside of the United Kingdom—including paintings, drawings, books, sculptures, textiles, stained glass, and other decorative arts. They reveal a passionate artistic and social vision that revolutionized the visual arts in Britain. Victorian Radicals features work by notable Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts artists including Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, William Morris, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Playing out against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, these influential movements were concerned with the relationship between art and nature, questions of class and gender, the value of the handmade versus machine production, and the search for beauty in an age of industry—all relevant issues in our current era of anxiety amid rapidly evolving technologies. “This exhibition is perfect for Seattle right now,” says Chiyo Ishikawa, SAM’s Susan Brotman Deputy Director for Art and Curator of European Painting and Sculpture.

  • NGA | Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Art and Design, 1848-1900
    National Gallery of Art Pre-Raphaelites Victorian Art and Design, 1848 – 1900 February 17 – May 19, 2013 4 Introduction 6 Origins 11 Literature and History 17 Nature 22 Salvation 29 Beauty 35 Paradise 42 Mythologies 49 Biographies Pre-Raphaelites Introduction Queen Victoria had been on the throne for little more than a decade when seven fervent young men formed a secret society in London in 1848 with the aim of rejuvenating the arts in industrial-age Britain. Bonding over their mutual passion for medieval art and disdain for contemporary painting practices, they called their group the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) in acknowledgment of their admiration of art prior to Raphael (1483 – 1520). The three most talented members were John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt — ages nineteen, twenty, and twenty-one, respectively. Along with other artists in their circle, most significantly their men- tor Ford Madox Brown, they sowed the seeds of a self-consciously avant-garde movement, one whose ideals they published in a short-lived journal, The Germ. Pre-Raphaelite paintings often addressed subjects of moral seriousness, whether pertaining to history, literature, religion, or modern society. While the artists emulated the pure colors, spatial flatness, and linear draftsmanship of late Gothic and early Renaissance art, their unconventional style — with its hyperrealism and brilliant palette — looked shocking to the public when their first paintings were exhibited in 1849. As an official group, the Pre-Raphaelites stayed together for only five years. But a second generation of artists, centered on Rossetti and led by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, arose in the 1860s with the aim of cultivating beauty in everyday life.

    THE TJHIVBRSITT OP OKLAHOM GRADUATE COLLEGE THE PRE-RAPHAELITES AHD THEIR CRITICS: A TENTATIVE APPROACH TOWARD THE AESTHETIC OP PRE-RAPHAELITISM A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OP PHILOSOPHY BY WILLIAM EVAN PREDEMAN Norman, Oklahoma _________ l â 5 6 __________ THE PEE-EAPHABLITBS AND THEIR CRITICS A TENTATIVE APPROACH TOWARD THE AESTHETIC OP PRE-RAPHAELITISM APPROVED BT Æ", ~hi. I DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PEBPAOE The purpose of this study is to exsimine the view­ points of a sufficient number of critics of the Pre- Eaphaelite Movement to arrive at a tentative definition and to place the movement in its proper historical per­ spective. The primary emphasis will be literary. But since ,the Pre-Raphaelite Movement began as a movement in painting and so expanded in its later phase that its influence spread to furniture making, interior decoration, tapestry and wall paper design, and book making and illustration, a completely literary study of the movement would be as inadequate as one dealing solely with the painting. Numerous studies have been made of the indi­ vidual Pre-Raphaelites and of the movement in general. Most of these, however, are devoted to relating biographi­ cal facts and to tracing the history of the movement. Critical studies of the aesthetic underlying the movement and motivating the individual members are few in number. Although Pre-Eaphaelitism is well documented, no universal agreement concerning the historical facts of the movement exists. Por this reason, the first part of the study is essentially historical, tracing the successive Phases through which Pre-Ranhaelitism progressed.

  • Lizzie Siddal and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Danielle Carman Utah Valley University
    Lizzie Siddal and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Danielle Carman Utah Valley University A mid-nineteenth century artist group known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) are known for their objectification of womenin their paintings; portraying them as meek, ill, near-death, and erotic. The women who posed for these artists were often artists or craft-makers themselves. By repainting and revising their male counterparts’ works and creating their own, these women took control of their own stories, and of how women could be portrayed in art. They painted the woman’s story: women who were leaders; women who were strong, lively, and active—no longer sexualized waifs. These PRB women reclaimed their space in the art world, and in society. he Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) were a group of artists in mid-nineteenth century Britain who went against the styles and topics the Royal Academy was producing at the time. The PRB drew Tinspiration from early Renaissance masters, before Raphael, such as Botticelli and Perugino. Much of their art depicted women very differently than the classical tradition. The so-called “stunners” in the PRB paintings were thin, waif-like figures (as opposed to the curvaceous, sexualized nudes seen in works such as Botticelli’s Birth of Venus). They were often in scenes of distress, fainting, ill or near death, pale-skinned, and helpless. One woman, in particular, Elizabeth Siddal, can be seen in many of these PRB paintings. She was an artist herself, but much like the other women in the PRB circle, her artistic abilities were overshadowed and she is remembered more for her idealized beauty and muse-like qualities.
