Description
A detailed watercolour by Dante Gabriel Rossetti depicting the artist Giotto capturing the likeness of the poet Dante Alighieri.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti produced this watercolour in 1852, a period when his fascination with the medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri reached a high point. The composition depicts the legendary artist Giotto di Bondone at work, capturing the likeness of a young Dante. Rossetti places the figures within a workshop setting, surrounded by the tools and atmosphere of the fourteenth century.
The work reflects the Pre-Raphaelite interest in the period before Raphael, favouring the clarity and narrative focus associated with early Italian art. Rossetti employs a deliberate, flattened perspective that draws attention to the interaction between the artist and his subject. The figures are rendered with careful attention to historical costume, featuring heavy fabrics and decorative patterns that suggest a period-accurate aesthetic.
In the foreground, a group of figures holds candles, adding a sense of ritual to the scene. The inclusion of sketches on the wall behind the figures provides a glimpse into the creative process, showing Giotto working through his composition. Rossetti uses a palette of deep blues, greens, and warm earth tones to ground the scene in a historical reality. The lighting is soft, emanating from the candles and the window, which creates a quiet, focused mood.
This piece demonstrates Rossetti's early technical skill with watercolour, a medium he used to achieve the luminosity and detail required for his narrative subjects. By choosing to depict a moment of artistic creation, Rossetti engages with the history of his own craft, positioning himself within a lineage of painters who looked to the past for inspiration. The work remains a clear example of the Pre-Raphaelite desire to revive the spirit of medieval art through modern eyes.

Giotto Painting the Portrait of Dante - 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.
