9. SOUNDBITE (English) Carol Jacobi, curator of British Art, Tate Britain:
"The Rossettis were an amazing family. They were born at the beginning of the Victorian age and they started off as controversial figures and they became very famous and celebrities by the end of their careers. And Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the painter poet, he led not just one but two avant gardes. He's a very important artist in Britain. He led the first British avant garde, which is the Pre-Raphaelite movement. And then he went on, not satisfied with that, and developed Aestheticism."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Carol Jacobi, curator of British Art, Tate Britain:
"Just in the last ten years, it's been discovered that Elizabeth Siddal's drawings were as influential on Gabriel's as he was on her. He's always been thought of as a teacher. But they had this period of time when Pre-Raphaelite ran out of fascination for Gabriel and Elizabeth. They withdrew to their studio, and they worked together on these small, imaginative medieval worlds, creating these sort of imaginative worlds, moving away from realism, and really that laid the basis for these sort of incredibly richly coloured fantasy, symbolic paintings that Gabriel is now famous for."

21. SOUNDBITE (English) Carol Jacobi, curator of British Art, Tate Britain:
"There's 21 kisses in this exhibition. And one of the things it explores is all kinds of kisses, the kisses between a mother and a child, the kisses between a mother and a child she's going to lose, siblings, kisses that are betrayals, kisses that are going to be a disaster. So particularly the themes of love. And it's really fascinating how all three of these people, Christine, Elisabeth and Gabriel, so often love is what their preoccupation is in their work."
