DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI

Rossetta, the poet, painter and idealist was also a passionate enthusiast who persuaded Millais and Holman Hunt to an uneasy alliance that profoundly influenced the career of William Morris and inspired the young Burne-Jones to paint. It was Rossetti's conviction that the function of the artist was to interpret and record his own emotions and experience that gave and new direction to so many artists. With his intense imagination, obsession with the feminine beauty and romanticism of the Middle Ages, Rossetti established one of the Pre-Raphaelite movements, most distinctive characteristics..
