"Beatrice Meeting Dante at a Wedding Feast, Denies Him Her Salutation" 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, completed in 1855, is one of Rossetti's early works and is part of a series of images that depict scenes from the life of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, particularly his unrequited love for Beatrice Portinari, which is a central theme in Dante's autobiographical work "La Vita Nuova" (The New Life).

The painting illustrates a specific event described in "La Vita Nuova," where Dante, attending a wedding feast, is deliberately ignored by Beatrice as a form of mild reprimand for his apparent neglect of her in favor of his poetry and intellectual pursuits. This moment is a pivotal one in Dante's life, as it represents a complex interplay of emotions, including love, pride, and the pain of rejection, which would go on to influence his later works, most notably "The Divine Comedy."

Rossetti's interpretation of the scene is rich in symbolism and detail, characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite style, which sought to revive the elaborate detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. The painting features the two central figures, Dante and Beatrice, amidst a gathering of guests at the wedding feast. Beatrice is depicted with an air of dignified composure, while Dante's posture and expression convey his inner turmoil and the sting of Beatrice's denial.

The work is notable for its emotional intensity and its embodiment of the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of combining literary themes with visual artistry. "Beatrice Meeting Dante at a Wedding Feast, Denies Him Her Salutation" is a testament to Rossetti's fascination with Dante Alighieri and the medieval period, as well as his own poetic sensibilities and the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement's commitment to narrative and symbolic depth in art. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries, contributing to the understanding of Rossetti's oeuvre and the cultural interplay between the visual arts and literature during the Victorian era.
