Rossetti inspired many contemporary artists and writers, such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, and Edward Burne-Jones. \u003cbr\u003eHis later work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRossetti's art was characterised by its sensuality and its mediaeval revivalism. \u003cbr\u003eHis early poetry was influenced by John Keats and William Blake.\u003cbr\u003eHe frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures, spanning from The Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849) and Astarte Syriaca (1877), while also creating art to illustrate poems such as Goblin Market by his sister Christina Rossetti.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom about 1860 Rossetti's painting style changed to a dense, rich, style drawing from later Italian Renaissance painting, very often showing a single female figure using one of his small group of regular models, typically with a luxuriant background of vegetation. He also produced many drawings, prints, and book illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e======================\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Motka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52572034203950,"sku":null,"price":2141.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8017\/0286\/files\/207548-006jpg.jpg?v=1788645647","url":"https:\/\/motka.store\/products\/1870-poems-by-dante-gabriel-rosetti-w-authors-manuscript-signed-binding-antique","provider":"Motka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
