The brotherhood's magazine, The Germ, was first published in 1850 with Rossetti contributing a poem, "The Blessed Damozel", and a story about a fictional Italian artist inspired by a vision of a woman who bids him combine the human and the divine in his art. It’s mission to reform English art and return to the detail, intense colours, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.
Together with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais they developed and founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Like his siblings, including famed poet Christina Georgina Rossetti, he most wished to be a poet but had a keen eye as a painter, having shown a great interest in Medieval Italian art.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti was born on May 12th 1828 in London, England.Īs a youth he was "self-possessed, articulate, passionate and charismatic" but also "ardent, poetic and feckless".
