"Fair Rosamund" is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, completed in 1861. The artwork depicts the historical figure Rosamund Clifford, also known as "The Fair Rosamund," who was famed for her beauty and was a mistress of King Henry II of England. Rossetti's portrayal of Rosamund is steeped in the romanticism and intricate symbolism characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 of which Rossetti was a founding member.

In the painting, Rosamund is often shown in a luxurious, labyrinthine bower, which according to legend, was constructed by Henry II at Woodstock Palace in Oxfordshire to conceal their affair from his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. The labyrinth motif, which Rossetti may include in the composition, serves as a symbol of the complex and secretive nature of their relationship, as well as the entrapment and eventual tragic fate of Rosamund, who is said to have been poisoned by the queen.

Rossetti's "Fair Rosamund" reflects the artist's fascination with medieval themes and his penchant for blending historical fact with myth and poetry. The painting is notable for its rich color palette, attention to detail, and the sensuous depiction of Rosamund, which exemplifies Rossetti's ideal of feminine beauty. The work is part of a broader trend in 19th-century art that romanticized the past and emphasized the emotional and sensual over the rational and classical.

As with many of Rossetti's works, "Fair Rosamund" is also notable for its literary connections, drawing inspiration from the legends and poetry that surrounded Rosamund Clifford's life and legacy. The painting is a testament to Rossetti's multidisciplinary approach to art, which sought to unify visual and literary arts under the banner of aesthetic beauty and emotional depth.

"Fair Rosamund" is held in high regard for its contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its embodiment of the period's aesthetic ideals. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
