Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 – 1882).  Poet and painter, founder and acknowledged leader of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Dante Gabriel Rossetti has beguiled and intrigued for more than a century with his turbulent and romantic imagery. His art was characterised by its sensuality and its medieval revivalism. Rossetti’s personal life was closely linked to his work, especially his relationships with his models and muses Fanny Cornforth, Elizabeth Siddal, and Jane Morris.
