Jan Marsh

4.9/5 (24482 ratings)

Description:Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 - 1882) was the leading member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. His depictions of Jane Burden Morris ensured her face became the iconic image of dark, enigmatic Pre-Raphaelite womanhood. In his maturity Rossetti drew and painted Jane with obsessional intensity and she was cast in many roles - as Beatrice, Pandora, Proserpine, Astarte. Whether in direct or symbolic guise, Jane's compelling features are depicted in this book with sombre intensity that offer a glimpse into Rossetti's troubled soul. Here, Jan Marsh - leading biographer of the Rossetti siblings and who has also written on the life of Jane and May Morris, provides compelling and authoritative commentary. This publication is produced as part of the 2014 exhibition Rossetti's Obsession: Images of Jane Morris which was curated by Bradford Museums and Art Galleries on the centenary of Jane Morris' death. Rarely displayed paintings and chalk drawings that trace Dante Gabriel Rossetti's obsession with his chief muse Jane Morris are being displayed during 2014 at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery (Bradford), Lady Lever Gallery (Liverpool) and the William Morris Gallery (London).
