"Dr Johnson at the Mitre" is a painting by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Created in 1860, this work captures a scene from the life of the eminent 18th-century literary figure, Dr. Samuel Johnson. The painting depicts Dr. Johnson in the Mitre Tavern, a well-known London establishment frequented by the literary and intellectual elite of the time. The Mitre Tavern was a favorite haunt of Johnson, where he often engaged in lively discussions with his contemporaries, including his close friend and biographer, James Boswell.

Rossetti's portrayal of Dr. Johnson is notable for its attention to historical detail and its vivid representation of the period's social atmosphere. The artist's characteristic use of rich colors and intricate details brings the scene to life, highlighting the convivial and intellectually stimulating environment of the tavern. The painting reflects Rossetti's deep interest in literature and history, as well as his admiration for Johnson's contributions to English literature.

In "Dr Johnson at the Mitre," Rossetti not only captures the physical likeness of the figures but also conveys their personalities and the dynamics of their interactions. The composition is carefully arranged to draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of Dr. Johnson, who is depicted in a moment of animated conversation. The surrounding figures, including Boswell, are rendered with equal care, each contributing to the overall narrative of the scene.

This work is a testament to Rossetti's skill as a painter and his ability to infuse historical subjects with a sense of immediacy and relevance. "Dr Johnson at the Mitre" remains an important piece within Rossetti's oeuvre and a valuable visual document of one of the most celebrated literary figures in English history.
