The artwork entitled “Monna Rosa,” painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1867, exemplifies the Romanticism art movement. Executed in oil on canvas, this portrait measures 57 x 40.7 cm and is currently located in a private collection.
The artwork features a woman adorned in a sumptuous gown with gold floral patterns, her attention captivated by delicate pink roses she is arranging in a vase. The vase, decorated in blue and white, stands on a slender, ornamented table, enhancing the refined elegance of the scene. The woman’s reddish-brown hair is styled in soft waves, and her expression appears contemplative. The rich, intricate details of her attire and surroundings, as well as the use of vibrant colors, reflect Rossetti’s characteristic romantic and idealized aesthetic.
