Tate British Artists Dante Gabriel Rossetti

The painter and poet Rossetti was an exotic figure on the stage of Victorian Bohemian London, his life a sensational mix of romance, tragedy, rebellion and genius. Lisa Tickner's accessible text throws new light on the life and work of this key Victorian artist in a survey of his entire career. The inclusion of letters, poetry and photographs give a broader picture of Rossetti's creative life and character.
