Thank you @delartmuseum for noticing the message I left in your Visitor Book! I am still basking in the glow of being surrounded by so much Rossetti… La Ghirlandata is alongside my note. #therossettis #delawareartmuseum
It’s said Rossetti saw model, Jane Morris, as Persephone, trapped in her marriage to William Morris just as Persephone was trapped in the Underworld, married to Hades. I’ve been lucky to see her in London, San Francisco and Wilmington. @delartmuseum #therossettis #persephone #hades #theunderworld
I met Rossetti’s Found at @delartmuseum Unfinished at the time of his death, note the intricate detail on the shawl and dress. The painting is a commentary on the plight of prostitution in London. #therossettis #preraphaelite #delawareartmuseum
The Rossetti Family’s love of animals is spotlighted at the entrance to the exhibition and visitors are invited to contribute to the wall. An emerging artist left their depiction of Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus! 🐈⬛🎨 @delartmuseum #therossettis #binx
Veronica Veronese. Rossetti knew he’d conjured magic when she materialized. Roxy Music were so smitten, her image adorns their single, More Than This. Standing before her is to be cocooned in green velvet… 💚 @delartmuseum #therossettis #veronicaveronese #roxymusic #morethanthis #preraphaelite
The Water Willow, depicts Jane Morris (wife of William Morris) in her natural habitat. Seeing it in person at the Delaware Art Museum was sublime… @delartmuseum #dantegabrielrossetti #therossettis #preraphaelite #janemorris
A lock of Elizabeth Siddal’s hair. She being the model for John Everett Millais’ Ophelia and Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s wife. She was also an artist and poet. @delartmuseum #therossettis #ophelia #johneverettmillais #preraphaelite #elizabethsiddal #lizziesiddal
Do people travel to Wilmington, Delaware in the dead of Winter to see Pre-Raphaelite Art? People do… @delartmuseum @parrish_relics #delawareartmuseum #therossettis #preraphaelite
'Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s portrait of Lady Lilith has taken her place in #TheRossettis, now open at Tate Britain.'
