          Rossetti again represented Lizzie as Dante's Beatrice in one of his most famous works, Beata Beatrix, (1864-1870) which he painted as a memorial to Lizzie after her death. This piece also mimicked the death of Dante's love in his autobiographical work, Vita Nuova. In the work, amidst a yellow haze of relatively indistinct shapes, including Florence's Ponte Vecchio and the figures of Dante and Love, Lizzie sits, representing Dante's Beatrice. With an upturned chin and closed eyes, Lizzie appears keenly aware of her impending fate, death. A bird, which serves as the messenger of death, places a poppy in her hands. Critics have praised the piece for its emotional resonance, which can be felt simply through the work's moving coloring and composition. The true history of Rossetti and his beloved wife further deepens its meaning; although their love had waned at that point, Lizzie still exerted a powerful influence on the artist.

Current Location: Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery

     This version of the work differs sharply from the other oils. The background detail clearly develops the cityscape as Florence (rather than leaving the matter ambiguously Florence or London); and the accessories are quite different as well. The messenger-dove is white in this version, not red, and the poppies are red, not white. The details framing the figure of Love (at the left) are distinctive to this work as well (the arbor vitae is replaced by a wall-niche with a crucifix above. The light is also represented very differently in this work from the others. Here light suffuses the area behind Beatrice from a source that is represented as natural (as the lines of light at the left emphasize). In general, the treatment verges on a kind of realism, even though the general iconic/symbolic composition is retained.

     He began the first version of the work, now in the Tate Gallery, London, in 1864, after finding an unfinished oil sketch that he had made of Siddal. The Art Institute’s painting is one of two replicas of the Tate composition, but it is the only one with a predella, the small panel at bottom showing the final meeting of Dante and Beatrice in paradise.

         One of several versions of this subject, this painting was unfinished at the time of Rossetti's death and the background was completed by Ford Madox Brown. In this version, the poppies are red, perhaps an explicit reference to opium-derived laudanum. Another version of the painting is in the Tate collection. There are also numerous related pencil studies in the Birmingham collection, as well as a large ornamental maijolica dish painted with a scene of Rossetti's 'Dante's Dream'.

   The dove symbolise  a messenger of death.  Usually the dove represents Peace or the Holy Spirit. Here, it is the messenger of death. In other versions of the painting the dove is red, symbolising passion and death.

   The poppy symbolise Death. This is an opium poppy sometimes used to make the drug laudanum. Rossetti's wife died from a drug overdose.

  The sundial represent the passing of time. The shadow on the sundial falls on 9 o'clock. This is time of Beatrice's death in the poem.

 Why is Beatrice's tunic green and the dress purple?  Green for life, purple for sorrow. Green means spring life and hope. Purple means sorrow and death.According to Rossetti's friend F.G. Stephens, the grey and green of her dress signify 'the colours of hope and sorrow as well as of love and life' ('Beata Beatrix by Dante Gabriel Rossetti', Portfolio, vol.22, 1891, p.46).

       Rossetti intended to represent her, not at the moment of death, but transformed by a 'sudden spiritual transfiguration' (Rossetti, in a letter of 1873, quoted in Wilson, p.86). She is posed in an attitude of ecstasy, with her hands before her and her lips parted, as if she is about to receive Communion.  The picture frame, which was designed by Rossetti, has further references to death and mourning, including the date of Beatrice's death and a phrase from Lamentations 1:1, quoted by Dante in the Vita Nuova: 'Quomodo sedet sola civitas' ('how doth the city sit solitary'), referring to the mourning of Beatrice's death throughout the city of Florence.

THE  ROSSETTI'S MODELS.

https://kristina-lenora.livejournal.com/18390.html 

 

         : ( , , - ) . , .

           The Pre-Raphaelite women generally fall into two categories:  artist’s models (who were predominately wives, lovers, or in the case of Christina Rossetti, sisters of the artists) or Pre-Raphaelite women artists (Lizzie Siddal can be included in both categories).   Jane Morris falls in the first category.
