Revolution, partnership, love. The Rossettis led a progressive counterculture, drawing on the past to reinvent art for their fast-changing modern world. The work of Pre-Raphaelite founder Dante Gabriel Rossetti, alongside that of his wife, artist Elizabeth Siddal, and his siblings, writers Christina and William Michael Rossetti, are the subject of this major international exhibition organized in partnership with Tate Britain.
The Rossettis presents celebrated DelArt paintings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, such as Found and Lady Lilith, contextualized among masterpieces from the Tate’s collection and loans from public and private collections worldwide. The show will include Rossetti’s outstanding early and late paintings, watercolors, photographs, and design, and major drawings by Siddal. This exhibition marks the first time this material will be assembled and displayed in the United States. It will be on view at Tate Britain from April 6 to September 24, 2023, before traveling to DelArt.
Save the date for our Pre-Raphaelite Weekend, November 9-12. We welcome travelers from around the world – as well as local art-lovers – for a weekend-long celebration of Pre-Raphaelite art. Visitors will enjoy behind-the-scenes experiences, musical performances, tours of The Rossettis, high tea, and more. On Saturday, we’ll cap the festivities with a Pre-Raphaelite Promenade, an enchanting evening event inspired by the Victorian world.
