Venus Verticordia

1864-8

 

    John Mitchell, of Bradford, commissioned the work in late 1863, when DGR made a chalk study of the subject. DGR worked hard at the picture in 1864 and must have brought it to some state of near completion in 1865. Up to this point the picture centered in the face of its first model, and its character can be seen best in two early sketches, the splendid study in the Fitzwilliam manuscript of The House of Life and the more finished study in the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery. Early in 1867 he was repainting Venus with Alexa Wilding as his model. At that point he must have introduced the labels in the upper right that were to bear the text of the sonnet he wrote for the picture in 1868. The labels, one with the text of the sonnet, appear in the two chalk studies he made for the painting, one done for Leylandthe other for Graham. DGR changed his mind about placing the text in the finished oil and water-colour replicas, however.

   The painting epitomizes the ambiguities that invest so many of the highly decorative female portraits that DGR produced, from Bocca Baciata The Blue Bower Fair Rosamond The Beloved , and Monna Vanna to a late work like Astarte Syriaca . Ruskin's comment, that “certain conditions of non-sentiment . . . underlie all you are doing now,” goes to the heart of the matter, for these female figures radiate at once great erotic power, great worldliness, and great indifference. They seem as well, perhaps paradoxically, great spiritual presences, although by no means morally sympathetic. William Sharp's descriptive analysis of the present painting is much to the point: “The Venus of this picture is no Aphrodite, fresh and white and jubilant from the foam of Idalian seas, nor is she Love incarnate or human passion; but she is a queen of Love who loves not herself, a desire that is unsatiable and remorseless, absolute, supreme. . . . She is the Lust of the Flesh that perisheth not, though around her loves and lives and dreams are evermore becoming as nought”. 

  • She hath it in her hand to give it thee,
  • Yet almost in her heart would hold it back;
  • She muses, with her eyes upon the track
  • Of that which in thy spirit they can see.
  • Haply, “Behold, he is at peace,” saith she:
  • “Alas! the apple for his lips,—the dart
  • That follows its brief sweetness to his heart—
  • The wandering of his feet perpetually!”
  • A little space her glance is still and coy;
  • But if she give the fruit that works her spell,10
  • Those eyes shall flame as for her Phrygian boy;
  • Then shall her bird's strained throat the woe foretell,
  • And her far seas moan as a single shell,
  • And through her dark grove strike the light of Troy.

             This is one of a series of decorative pictures of beautiful and sensual women, which Rossetti produced in the mid 1860s. The model is Alexa Wilding, who sat for some of Rossetti's best-known works, including La Ghirlandata (1873, Guildhall Art Gallery, Corporation of London) and The Blessed Damozel (1875-8, Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts). The spiral pearl clasp in her flowing auburn hair and the red coral necklace appear frequently in Rossetti's pictures of women. Along with the sweeping movement of her arms, the green rosettes on her shoulder and the floral earrings, they serve to accentuate the picture's circular composition. The heavily embroidered white and gold drapery is used in other pictures of this date, including Monna Rosa (untraced). The enormous sleeve recalls Raphael's portrait of Giovanna of Aragon in the Louvre.
Rossetti originally called the picture Venus Veneta, and intended it to represent 'a Venetian lady in a rich dress of white and gold, - in short the Venetian ideal of female beauty' (quoted in a letter dated 27 September 1866, Doughty & Wahl, II, p.606). After the picture was finished he changed the title to Monna Vanna, denoting a 'vain woman', a name taken from Dante's Vita Nuova, which Rossetti had translated in October 1848.
