The first art book to explore Rossetti's art and poetry together, including her own artworks, illustrations to her writing, and art inspired by herChristina Rossetti (18301894) is among the greatest of English Victorian poets. The intensity of her vision, her colloquial style, and the lyrical quality of her verse still speak powerfully to us today, while her striking imagery has always inspired artists. Rossetti lived in an exceptionally visual environment: her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was the leading member of the avantgarde PreRaphaelite Brotherhood, and she became a favorite model for the group. She sat for the face of Christ in William Holman Hunts The Light of the World, while both John Everett Millais and Frederick Sandys illustrated her poetry. Later on, the pioneering photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and the great Belgian Symbolist Fernand Khnopff were inspired by Rossettis enigmatic verses. This engaging book explores the full artistic context of Rossettis life and poetry: her own complicated attitude to pictures; the many portraits of her by artists, including her brother, John Brett, and Lewis Carroll; her own intriguing and virtually unknown drawings; and the wealth of visual images inspired by her words.Published in association with Watts GalleryExhibition Schedule:Watts Gallery, Guildford, Surrey(11/13/1803/17/19)
