"The Childhood of Mary Virgin" is a seminal oil painting created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1849, marking his first completed work as a professional artist. This painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in the foundation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a movement co-founded by Rossetti along with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. The Brotherhood sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art, rejecting the mechanistic approach that they believed had been adopted by the Mannerist artists who followed Raphael and Michelangelo.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary as a young girl, engaged in domestic activities alongside her mother, Saint Anne, and her father, Saint Joachim. The scene is imbued with symbolic elements that foreshadow Mary's future role as the mother of Jesus Christ. For instance, the lily held by an angel in the background symbolizes purity and is a traditional Marian attribute. Rossetti's sister, Christina Rossetti, posed for the figure of Mary, adding a personal dimension to the work.

Rossetti's meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors are evident in the intricate patterns of the textiles and the naturalistic rendering of the figures. The composition is carefully balanced, with a strong emphasis on vertical and horizontal lines that guide the viewer's eye through the scene. The painting also reflects Rossetti's interest in medievalism and his desire to imbue his work with spiritual and moral significance.

"The Childhood of Mary Virgin" was exhibited at the Free Exhibition in London in 1849, where it received critical acclaim and established Rossetti's reputation as a leading artist of his generation. The work is now housed in the Tate Britain, where it continues to be celebrated for its historical importance and artistic innovation.
