Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti was a British poet, painter, and translator, born on May 12, 1828, in London. He was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of artists and writers who sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of pre-Renaissance art. Rossetti's work often featured themes of love, beauty, and mythology. In addition to his visual art, Rossetti is well-known for his poetry, which includes collections like The House of Life. His unique style combined rich imagery with emotional depth, influencing both the Victorian literary scene and later movements in art and literature. Rossetti passed away on April 9, 1882.
