EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the late 19th century, where we catch a glimpse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti in his element. The English painter and poet is seen seated in the drawing room of his home at 16 Cheyne Walk, London. With an air of quiet confidence, he reads from his renowned collection of Ballads and Sonnets to none other than Theodore Watts-Dunton – a respected critic and poet himself. The atmosphere exudes sophistication and artistic flair as we take in the beautifully decorated interior. A grand chandelier illuminates the room, casting a warm glow over Rossetti's face as he delves into his poetry. The elegant carpet underfoot adds a touch of luxury while complementing the exquisite couch on which our subjects sit. A majestic fireplace with an intricately carved mantle serves as the focal point of this intimate setting. Its hearth crackles softly, creating a soothing ambiance that enhances their literary exchange. Mirroring Rossetti's passion for both painting and poetry, Henry Treffry Dunn skillfully captures this moment using gouache and watercolor on paper. This photograph immortalizes not only Rossetti but also his friendship with Watts-Dunton – two influential figures within the Pre-Raphaelite movement. As we observe them engrossed in conversation amidst such refined surroundings, it becomes clear that this image encapsulates a significant chapter in art history.
