Descripción
A portrait of Rosamund Clifford, mistress of King Henry II, painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1861.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted Fair Rosamund in 1861, a work that captures the aesthetic sensibilities of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The subject is Rosamund Clifford, the mistress of King Henry II, who is often associated with the legend of the labyrinth at Woodstock. Rossetti depicts her with his characteristic focus on feminine beauty, featuring a model with flowing auburn hair and a pale complexion.
The composition is tight, framing the figure against a background of bullseye glass panes. This choice of setting provides a sense of enclosure, reflecting the narrative of Rosamund being hidden away from Queen Eleanor. The figure holds a sprig of rose, a visual pun on her name, while a red thread winds across the foreground, alluding to the silken cord used to guide the King through the maze. The gold necklace and the floral pattern of her dress demonstrate the attention to decorative detail that defined Rossetti's work during this period.
Technically, the painting displays the precise brushwork and clear colour palette favoured by the Pre-Raphaelites. The light is soft, illuminating the subject's face and highlighting the texture of her skin and hair. The inclusion of the rose and the thread adds a layer of symbolic narrative, typical of the literary and historical themes the artist explored throughout his career. This piece remains a clear example of the romanticised historical portraiture that defined the mid-Victorian era, focusing on the emotional and visual impact of the individual figure rather than broad historical action. The work is currently held in the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.

Fair Rosamund - Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Artist Biography
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
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.
