SUMMARY
This catalogue focuses on a selection of languorous beauties that Rossetti painted between c. 1860 and 1870. Its centerpiece is The Blue Bower, a masterpiece that Rossetti executed in 1865. This seminal picture is explored within the context of the artist's development and personal circumstances during the 1860s. The reasons for his change of style and medium are investigated and particular attention is paid to his relationships. The book explores thematic links with the history and literature of the period and discusses Rossetti's connections with the Old Masters, notably Titian and the Venetians, and with his contemporaries, including Whistler, Courbet, Burne-Jones, and Munch.Spencer-Longhurst, Paul is the author of 'Blue Bower: Rossetti in the 1860s', published 2005 under ISBN 9781857592603 and ISBN 1857592603.
