Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) * Antonio Vivaldi - RV 93. II. Largo

Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a British painter of Italian descent, born in London in 1828.

Poet, translator, illustrator, painter He became a literary leader in 1848 at the age of 20. At that time, he founded and organized the "Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood" of young painters and poets. He proclaimed that painting began to deteriorate when Raphael depicted even the saints too realistically. We must return to the pre-Raphaelite world of Botticelli, to the devotion of medieval images, to the spirit of Christian religion and ancient mythology (That is why he gave the movement the name Pre-Raphaelite, or before Raphael).
