Painting Description
"Roman de la Rose" is an oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a British poet, illustrator, painter, and translator, who was one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The painting, whose title translates from French as "Romance of the Rose," was completed in 1864 and is one of Rossetti's works that reflects his interest in medieval literature and his penchant for romantic and sensual themes.
The painting is inspired by the medieval French poem of the same name, "Le Roman de la Rose," which was a notable allegorical dream vision widely popular in the Middle Ages, with its themes of courtly love. The original poem, begun by Guillaume de Lorris around 1230 and later expanded by Jean de Meun, was a significant influence on European literature and was known for its complex interplay of eroticism and morality.
In Rossetti's "Roman de la Rose," the artist captures a moment of tender intimacy, depicting a couple in a lush, enclosed garden, which is a common setting for courtly love in medieval literature. The male figure is shown offering a rose to the female figure, symbolizing love and desire. The painting is rich in symbolism and detail, characteristic of Rossetti's work, and it showcases his skill in portraying complex emotional states and his use of vibrant colors.
The artwork is notable for its fusion of literary inspiration with Rossetti's distinctive Pre-Raphaelite style, which emphasized a return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. "Roman de la Rose" exemplifies Rossetti's contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement's revival of medieval themes and aesthetics, as well as his own personal exploration of romantic and sensual subject matter.
Today, "Roman de la Rose" is considered an important work in Rossetti's oeuvre and in the broader context of Pre-Raphaelite art. It is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the ongoing interest in and study of Pre-Raphaelite art and its impact on Victorian culture and beyond.
