The story of Proserpine

Proserpine is an oil painting on canvas by British Pre-Raphaelite artist and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It was made in 1874 and is now in the collection of the Tate Britain. Rossetti painted at least eight versions of the same subject from 1871 until 1882, the year of his death. Early versions were promised to Charles Augustus Howell.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was an English poet, illustrator, painter, translator, and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti inspired many contemporary artists and writers, such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, and Edward Burne-Jones in particular. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.
