The story of Monna Vanna
Painted in 1866 under the title Venus Veneta, it was renamed Monna Vanna after a character in Dante's La Vita Nuova. It passed through the collectors William Henry Blackmore and George Rae and was bought by the Tate Gallery in 1916 through the National Art Collections Fund. Rossetti called it probably the most effective as a room decoration that he had ever painted.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was an English poet, illustrator, painter, translator, and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti inspired many contemporary artists and writers, such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, and Edward Burne-Jones in particular. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.
