Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti was a British painter, poet, illustrator and translator. His origins go back to the Italian noble family Rossetti. While he was often addressed by the first name Gabriel within his family and among friends, in public he preferred the first name Dante, in reference to the famous poet Dante. Since his father was a professor at King's College, Rossetti received his basic education there. For a long time he could not decide whether he wanted to become a poet or a painter. For just like his father, his three siblings also became respected writers. However, Rossetti showed great interest in medieval Italian art, so at the age of 14 he enrolled at Sass' Drawing School, which was to serve as a springboard for his admission to the Royal Academy.
He left the Royal Academy in 1848 to become a student of the painter Ford Madox Brown , whom he admired. Rossetti was fascinated by Brown's motifs but, as at the Royal Academy, he disliked the traditional academic teaching methods. He therefore soon left Brown, but remained close friends with him throughout his life. Rossetti was still unsure whether he wanted to turn to painting or poetry. This was to change when he became aware of William Holman Hunts painting "The Eve of Saint Agnes". Rossetti discovered that Hunt shared similar literary and artistic ideals and became friends with him. Together with John Everett Millais they founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Rossetti signed his first oil painting "The Youth of the Virgin Mary" with the initials of the Brotherhood (PRB). Initially the painting was very popular until the importance of PRB became known, which hit him hard.
Around 1850 he met his later wife Elizabeth Siddal. She corresponded to the appearance of a woman in the sense of the Pre-Raphaelites. Therefore she often sat model for the brotherhood. Around 1854 the fraternity finally dissolved due to the different interests and personalities of its members. Rossetti was very charismatic, so it was not long before he founded a new Pre-Raphaelite movement in 1856. His private life changed dramatically from 1962. His wife committed suicide after a miscarriage. After her death, he had an affair with his friend's wife William Morris , among others, who also often posed for him. Rossetti began to take chloral hydrate because of his insomnia, on which he became dependent. The addiction increasingly affected his ability to paint and also changed him psychologically. He died of kidney failure.
