About the piece
Created in 1878, Dante Gabriel Rossetti's 'A Vision of Fiammetta' is a masterpiece of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting depicts Maria Spartali Stillman as Boccaccio's muse, Fiammetta, enveloped in a sea of apple blossoms that symbolize both the beauty of the soul and the fleeting nature of life. The work is renowned for its intense color palette and the symbolic use of flora and fauna, including the red bird above the sitter's head.
