About the piece
Created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1872, Beata Beatrix depicts Beatrice Portinari from Dante’s 'La Vita Nuova' at the moment of her spiritual transition. This luminous work serves as a memorial to the artist's wife, Elizabeth Siddal, utilizing symbolic elements like the red bird and sundial to explore themes of love and mortality within a masterful Pre-Raphaelite composition.
