Beata Beatrix" is an oil on canvas painting by Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabrielsetti, first completed 1870. This visually striking work draws influence from the Italian Renaissance while embodying the distinct aesthetic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an English artistic group of which Rossetti was a founding member.

The painting depicts Beatrice Portinari from Dante Alighieri's poem "La Vita Nuova" at the moment of her death. Beatrice, who was also Dante’s muse in "The Divine Comedy", is shown entranced, with her eyes closed and an emotionless expression, representing spiritual tranquillity. She symbolises the fusion of love and death themes that were common in Rossetti's work.

An unusual element in the painting is the poppy held by a bird—a red dove—symbolising dream and death, alluding to Rossetti's wife Elizabeth Siddal, whose death had a significant impact on the painting. Siddal, aside from being Rossetti's wife, was a frequent model for his artworks, leading some art scholars to assert that "Beata Beatrix" serves as both a memorial and an idealisation of Siddal.

Situated on the background is an image of Dante Alighieri and Love, represented by the figure of an angelic child, an element taken directly from Dante's "Vita Nuova". The presence of the sundial indicating the ninth hour of the day references the exact time of Beatrice's death according to the poet.

The painting, currently housed at the Tate Britain, is a prime example of Rossetti's ability to blend literature, personal sorrow, and the divine into a meaningful and masterfully executed work of art.
