Rossetti, Dante Gabriel

Japanese: ロセッティ（英語表記）Rossetti， Dante Gabriel

Born: May 12, 1828, London
[Died] April 9, 1882, Birchington-on-Sea British poet and painter. The eldest of the Rossetti siblings. Born to Italian refugee G. Rossetti, he studied at art school and was taught by FM Brown. In 1848, he founded the Pre-Raphaelite movement and played an active role as a central figure. In the 1950s, he produced watercolors and drawings on themes of mythology and the Bible, and his decorative and mystical paintings had a great influence on fin de siècle Symbolism and Art Nouveau. In addition to painting, he also started writing poetry early on, and his style was characterized by passion, color, and medieval themes and atmosphere, pioneering a realm of poetry that was both mystical and sensual. The sonnet series "The House of Life" included in a collection of poems in 1970 is a powerful work that explores the relationship between spirit and flesh in love, but his overly sensual style of poetry earned him the nickname "carnal." Other works include Ballads and Sonnets (81).

Rossetti, Christina Georgina

Born: December 5, 1830, London
[Died] December 29, 1894, London. British female poet. The youngest of the Rossetti siblings. Her first collection of poems, Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862), showed a Pre-Raphaelite style, and she later published Prince's Progress (66), Sing-Song: a Nursery Rhyme Book (72), New Poems (96), and others. Her refined vocabulary, reliable meter, and gentle emotion create a mystical and religious atmosphere in her poetry, and she also shares a sense of color and medieval elements with her elder brother, DG Rossetti, making her one of the best female poets in England. She gave up marriage twice in her life for religious reasons, and many of her love poems are records of failure in love.

[生]1828.5.12. ロンドン
[没]1882.4.9. バーチントンオンシー
イギリスの詩人，画家。ロセッティ兄妹の長兄。イタリア人亡命者 G.ロセッティの子に生れ，美術学校に学んだのち，F.M.ブラウンの指導を受けた。 1848年ラファエル前派の運動を興し，その中心人物として活躍した。 50年代には神話や聖書を主題とした水彩画や素描を制作したが，彼の装飾的で神秘的な絵画は，世紀末の象徴主義，アール・ヌーボーなどに多大の影響を与えた。また絵のほか，詩作にも早くから手を染めたが，作風は情熱，色彩感，中世的な主題と雰囲気などを特色とし，神秘的であるとともに肉感的な詩境を開拓した。 70年の詩集に収められたソネット連作『生命の家』 The House of Lifeは，愛における霊と肉の関係を追求した力作であるが，あまりにも官能的な詩風により「肉体派」と呼ばれた。ほかに『バラッドとソネット』 Ballads and Sonnets (81) など。
