"La Mandolinata" is a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a British poet, illustrator, painter, and translator who was one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics. The painting, whose full title is "La Mandolinata (The Musician)", was completed in 1869 and is a fine example of Rossetti's mature style, characterized by its rich coloration, intricate composition, and themes of romantic and medievalist beauty.

The artwork features a woman playing the mandolin, a subject that reflects Rossetti's interest in themes of love and music, which are recurrent in his oeuvre. The model for the painting is often believed to be Fanny Cornforth, one of Rossetti's frequent muses and companions, although this has not been definitively established. The painting's style is marked by the lush, sensuous detail that is typical of Rossetti's work from this period, with a focus on the beauty of the female form, elaborate costume, and a dreamlike atmosphere.

"La Mandolinata" is emblematic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medieval culture, as well as its rejection of the conventional artistic standards of the time. The movement sought to return to the rich detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. The painting's subject and execution reflect Rossetti's personal synthesis of these influences and his own poetic sensibilities.

The painting is part of a larger body of Rossetti's work that includes portraiture, poetry, and translations that together express the Pre-Raphaelite ideals of art's potential for personal expression and cultural revival. "La Mandolinata" remains an important work within Rossetti's portfolio, illustrating the enduring appeal of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its impact on the visual arts in Victorian Britain.
