Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti 12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882 generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti was an English poet illustrator painter translator and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti inspired the next generation of artists and writers William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones in particular. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement. Rossetti's art was characterized by its sensuality and its medieval revivalism. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats and William Blake. His later poetry was characterized by the complex interlinking of thought and feeling especially in his sonnet sequence The House of Life. Poetry and image are closely entwined in Rossetti's work. He frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures spanning from The Girlhood of Mary Virgin 1849 and Astarte Syriaca 1877 while also creating art to illustrate poems such as Goblin Market by the poet Christina Rossetti his sister. Rossetti's personal life was closely linked to his work especially his relationships with his models and muses Elizabeth Siddal whom he married Fanny Cornforth and Jane Morris.
