"Aurelia (Fazio's Mistress)" is a painting by the British artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. The painting, whose title refers to a character from a 19th-century play, is also known by the alternative title "Aurelia (Fazio's Mistress)" and is one of Rossetti's many works that explore themes of love, beauty, and sensuality through a distinctive aesthetic that often drew upon medieval and early Renaissance artistic styles.

Completed in 1863, "Aurelia" is a fine example of Rossetti's mature style, characterized by its rich color palette, intricate detail, and the depiction of a languid, beautiful woman. The subject of the painting is thought to be based on the character of Aurelia, the mistress of the protagonist Fazio, from the play "Fazio" by English dramatist Henry Hart Milman. Rossetti's interpretation of Aurelia is imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection, which was a common motif in his work.

The model for "Aurelia" was Fanny Cornforth, who was one of Rossetti's frequent muses and a key figure in his artistic and personal life. Her voluptuous appearance and striking features are captured in the painting with a sensuousness that is typical of Rossetti's depictions of women. The artwork is notable for its meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and the ornamental elements that surround the figure, which contribute to the overall opulence and depth of the composition.

"Aurelia" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and for its role in exemplifying the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to challenge the conventions of Victorian art by returning to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. The painting is part of a larger body of Rossetti's work that has been influential in defining the visual language of Pre-Raphaelitism and continues to be studied for its contributions to the history of British art.

Today, "Aurelia (Fazio's Mistress)" is housed in a public collection, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate Rossetti's skill and the enduring legacy of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The painting is not only a testament to Rossetti's artistic vision but also a window into the broader cultural and aesthetic preoccupations of the Victorian era.
