Beschreibung
A portrait of a woman in medieval dress holding a vessel, painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1867.
The Loving Cup, executed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1867, is a characteristic example of his later period. The work features a woman in medieval-style dress, holding a small, ornate vessel. Rossetti often drew inspiration from historical themes and romanticised depictions of the past. The subject is rendered with the heavy, saturated colour palette common to his watercolours of this decade.
The composition is shallow, placing the figure against a backdrop of decorative plates and a patterned wall. This arrangement draws attention to the texture of the fabric and the metallic sheen of the cup. The woman, with her auburn hair and direct gaze, reflects the aesthetic ideals Rossetti pursued throughout his career. Her attire, complete with ruffled cuffs and a dark blue wrap, suggests a period-specific costume rather than contemporary fashion.
Rossetti utilised watercolour with a density that mimics the appearance of oil paint. He layered pigments to achieve the depth seen in the red gown and the surrounding decorative elements. The background includes subtle motifs, such as the foliage and the circular plates, which provide a sense of domestic enclosure. This work demonstrates his interest in the decorative arts and the creation of a self-contained, atmospheric space. The focus remains on the figure, whose expression is neutral, inviting the viewer to consider the narrative implications of the cup she holds. The piece is part of a series of works where Rossetti explored the interplay between female beauty and symbolic objects. It remains a clear representation of the Pre-Raphaelite interest in historical revivalism and the aesthetic movement.

Artist Biography
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Rossetti was the engine of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He co-founded it in 1848 with Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, writing the manifesto, recruiting members, and generating the intensity that held the group together. He was nineteen. The name was deliberately provocative: they wanted to reject everything after Raphael, which was most of Western art.
He was born in London to an Italian political exile and named after the author of the Divine Comedy. His father was a professor of Italian at King's College. The household ran on poetry, politics, and argument. Rossetti wrote verse throughout his life and considered himself a poet as much as a painter.
His early paintings are small, bright, and meticulously detailed in the Pre-Raphaelite manner. The Girlhood of Mary Virgin and Ecce Ancilla Domini have the flat, jewelled quality of medieval altarpieces. After 1860 the style changed. The paintings became larger, more sensual, and dominated by the face and figure of Jane Burden, who was William Morris's wife.
The relationship between Rossetti, Morris, and Jane is one of the more uncomfortable triangles in art history. Morris married her. Rossetti painted her obsessively. She modelled for Proserpine, La Pia de' Tolomei, and dozens of other works in which she appears as a mythological woman trapped in an unwanted situation. Whether the affair was physical remains debated. Morris, characteristically, said nothing publicly and channelled his feelings into wallpaper.
Rossetti buried a manuscript of his poems in his wife Lizzie Siddal's coffin when she died of a laudanum overdose in 1862. Seven years later he had the coffin exhumed to retrieve them. He published the poems. He was addicted to chloral hydrate by then and increasingly paranoid. He died in 1882, at fifty-three.
