Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a British poet, illustrator, painter, translator and founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. His work influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement. Rosetti's art was characterised by its sensuality and its medieval revivalism.
Rossetti's personal life was closely linked to his work, especially his relationships with his models and muses Elizabeth Siddal (who was also his wife), Fanny Cornforth and Jane Morris.

About Monna Vanna
"Monna Vanna" is one of a series of decorative pictures of beautiful and sensual women, which Dante Gabriel Rossetti produced in the mid 1860s. Rossetti considered the painting to be one of his best works and declared it 'probably the most effective as a room decoration that I have ever painted'. The title Monna Vanna, denotes a 'vain woman', a name taken from the Italian poet Dante's Vita Nuova. The model is Alexa Wilding. The spiral pearl clasp in her flowing auburn hair and the red coral necklace appear frequently in Rosseti's pictures of women. Along with the sweeping movement of her arms, the green rosettes on her shoulder and the floral earrings, they serve to accentuate the picture's circular composition.About the Posters
