Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery (Liverpool) and Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), this volume explores the life and work of nineteenth-century English painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It features 190 illustrations (many in color) of works from all periods of the artist's life, including watercolors, drawings of his wife, and his contributions to the decorative arts. Three essays examine Rossetti's career as co-founder of the Pre-Raphaelites, discuss his portrayal of women, and assess his impact on 19th- and 20th-century art. Oversize: 9.5x11.5
