註釋
"This exhibition, held to mark both the millennium and the centenary of the University of Birmingham, focuses on a selection of languorous beauties painted between c. 1860 and 1870. Its centrepiece is The Blue Bower, a masterpiece that Rossetti executed in 1865, using his housekeeper and mistress, Fanny Cornforth, as model. This seminal picture is explored within the context of the artist's development and personal circumstances during the 1860s. The reasons for his change of style and medium are investigated and particular attention is paid to his relationships with women, especially Fanny Cornforth, Lizzie Siddal, Alexa Wilding and Jane Morris. The exhibition explores thematic links with the history and literature of the period. It also discusses Rossetti's connections with the Old Masters, notably Titian and the Venetians, and with his contemporaries, including Whistler, Courbet, Burne-Jones and Munch."--BOOK JACKET.
