"Desdemona" is an oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent English painter, poet, and one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which aimed to reform art by rejecting what it considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. The painting, created in 1871, depicts the character Desdemona from William Shakespeare's play "Othello."

In this work, Rossetti captures the tragic figure of Desdemona, a character who embodies innocence and purity, yet is doomed by the false accusations of infidelity made against her. The painting is a testament to Rossetti's fascination with Shakespearean heroines, as well as his interest in exploring themes of love, beauty, and tragedy. It is characterized by the rich color palette, detailed symbolism, and the intense emotional expression typical of Rossetti's mature style.

The portrayal of Desdemona is notable for its poignant beauty and the sense of foreboding that it conveys. Rossetti's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of fabrics and the sitter's hair, contribute to the overall dramatic effect of the painting. The subject's direct gaze engages the viewer, creating an intimate connection that enhances the emotional impact of the piece.

"Desdemona" is part of a larger body of Rossetti's work that reflects his preoccupation with literary themes and his desire to convey the inner life of his subjects through art. The painting is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of one of Shakespeare's most beloved characters. It remains an important example of Pre-Raphaelite art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 19th-century British painting.
