EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dream of Dante" is a captivating print that transports viewers into the mystical world of Dante Alighieri's imagination. Created by an unknown artist in 1871, this particular print dates back to around 1902. The artwork itself is based on a painting displayed at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, which depicts a scene from La Vita Nuova, one of Dante's renowned works. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a British poet, illustrator, painter, and translator who founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood alongside William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais in 1848, was deeply inspired by medieval influences and especially drawn to the writings of his namesake - Dante Alighieri. Rossetti's marriage to his model Elizabeth Siddal further fueled his artistic endeavors. This exquisite print showcases Rossetti's ability to capture intricate details and emotions through his brushstrokes. It also highlights his connection with Jane Morris - wife of William Morris and one of Rossetti's muses - as he became a founding partner in their decorative arts firm. "The Dream of Dante" serves as an enchanting reminder of how art can transcend time and bring together different creative minds across centuries. This reproduction comes from "The Nations Pictures" a collection featuring some of Great Britain's most exceptional modern paintings found within public picture galleries. Its vibrant colors breathe new life into this timeless masterpiece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
