The artwork titled “Dante’s Dream at the Time of the Death of Beatrice study” was created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1870. Executed in pen, this piece is a part of the Romanticism art movement and falls within the genre of a sketch and study. The dimensions of the artwork are 54 x 61 cm.
The artwork prominently features an ethereal and contemplative head study of a woman in profile. Her eyes are closed, and her expression conveys a serene melancholy. The artist has skillfully used delicate lines and shading to capture the fine details of her hair and facial features, emphasizing the soft, somber mood of the scene. The simplicity and elegance of the composition invite viewers to reflect on themes of love, loss, and reverie, which are central to Rossetti’s work and the Romanticism movement as a whole.
