was Christina Rossetti. Christina Rossetti’s rich childhood, personal and familial strives, and the Pre-Raphaelite movement aided her to use her poems as a tool of personal expression of the inner turmoil of religious and family obligations and a personal longing in her soul.

Gilgamesh, her story has grown into a femme fatale.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Coventry Patmore, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti exemplify nature as being exuberant, indifferent, and sorrowful in a variation of their poetry. In Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “The Splendor Falls,” nature is vividly depicted as being alive. Tennyson uses many active verbs to illustrate his view of nature clearly. In the first four lines of stanza
just some of those that can be interpreted from the poem. Though some seem to have more merit than others, the only explanation of the above, it seems quite incredible is that of lesbian love. As a true Anglo-Catholic it is very unlikely that CG Rossetti wrote to any job glorifying such a relationship. Given her experience of labor among former prostitutes and other "fallen women" in Highgate Orphanage, it is reasonable to assume some of the links in the Goblin Market with the trauma suffered by

Red House -- one of the most important 19th century English homes and the experimental paintbox of the pioneers of the arts and crafts movement -- opens to the public this week after 140 years in private ownership. Described by painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti as "more a poem than a house," the realized utopian vision of Victorian writer, designer and political activist William Morris is a spectacular reflection of the ideals of a man who insisted that homes should contain nothing that isn't beautiful
Comparing a painting by Fra Filippo Lippi and Dante Gabriel Rossetti The two pictures are Rosetti’s Ecce Ancilla Domini and Lippi’s Annunciation. Both of the artists were influenced by their age. Lippi lived in Italy between 1406 and 1469 and Rosetti from 1828 to 1882. Lippi’s background of Italian Renaissance determined his style to a large extent.

pauses to hear. Her name is Veronica Veronese. She hangs in the Delaware Art Museum but I first saw her in Art & Antiques, a monthly art magazine. The whole painting enthralled me so greatly that I decided to learn more about the artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He belonged to a group called the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: a group of seven united through their art.
