Description
Rossetti is a short life of the painter-poet in a miniature series of painters. Marillier wrote the study. George Bell published it in London in 1906. A painting called Beata Beatrix forms the frontispiece. A chronological list of chief pictures aids the reader.
The chapters follow the artist's career in order. An introductory chapter treats his family and birth. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood earns a chapter of its own. Ruskin's friendship and Rossetti's marriage fill another. The last chapter covers the years 1874 to 1882. The text opens with the painter's full name and birth. He was born in London in May 1828. His father was an Italian exile from Vasto. His mother brought English sense to the mystical household.
