the pre-raphaelites brotherhood
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. They aimed to reform art by rejecting the academic standards of their time, particularly the influence of the Renaissance artist Raphael. Inspired by medieval art and literature, their works often featured vivid colors, intricate detail, and complex symbolism. The Brotherhood's art and ideas were controversial but influential, laying the groundwork for the Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts movements that followed.

MWW Artwork of the Day (6/29/23)
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (British, 1828-1882)
Veronica Veronese (1872)
Oil on canvas, 107.9 x 86.3 cm.
Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington DE
"Veronica Veronese" is an oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted in 1872 with Alexa Wilding as the model. The painting was conceived as a companion to Lady Lilith. The symbolism in the painting includes the uncaged bird, which may represent "the marriage of the voices of nature and the soul" and overt flower symbolism. The camomile in the bird cage may represent “energy in adversity,” the primroses youth, and the daffodils reflection. Jane Morris lent the green dress in the picture. The violin was part of Rossetti's collection of musical instruments, and the fan also appeared in "Monna Vanna." The few bars of musical composition on the manuscript may have been borrowed from George Boyce.
Rossetti is one of the featured artists in this MWW gallery/album:

Bocca baciata non perde ventura, anzi rinnova come fa la luna.
‘The mouth that has been kissed does not lose its good fortune: rather, it renews itself just as the moon does.’
