Abstract
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of artists who sought to recapture the aesthetics of Raphael and Michelangelo – as opposed to the ‘sloshy’ style of contemporary Royal Academy painters. In addition to his work as artist and illustrator, Dante was a successful and sometimes scandalous poet: the poem, ‘Jenny', concerns a young man’s visit to a prostitute. He dedicated his Poems to his brother and fellow Pre-Raphaelite, William Michael Rossetti.
