Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) was a prominent English painter and poet who helped found the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, known for their non-arcade-mic approach to religious, moral, and medieval subjects.

ARTISTIC STYLE: Rossetti's art is characterized by its sensuality, medieval revivalism, and focus on religious and literary themes, often featuring female figures. POETRY: He was also prolific poet, and his work reflects his artistic sensibilities and interests in medieval subjects and mythology. KEY WORKS:some of his most famous paintings include "Ecce Ancilla Domini" (the annunciation), "Proserpine", and portraits of Jane Morris, a model and muse for many Pre-Raphaelite artists. PERSONAL LIFE: Rossetti's personal life was closely linked to his work, particularly his relationships with his models and muses, including Elizabeth Siddal and Fanny Cornforth.
