“Paolo & Francesca – Dante”
Pre-Raphaelite Interest
The subject of Paolo and Francesca was particularly important to Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882), who produced a number of drawings and watercolours inspired by the lovers.
Rossetti experimented with the composition over a number of years. Recorded preparatory works include pencil studies and a sheet containing four studies executed in pencil, pen and wash on grey paper.
Rossetti's friend, the sculptor Alexander Munro (1825–1871), was simultaneously developing his own interpretation of Paolo and Francesca. Rossetti presented several of his drawings of the subject to Munro.
