Dante Gabriel Rossetti (English, 1828-1882)
Proserpine
1874
Oil on canvas (125,1 x 61 cm)
Tate
Although Rossetti inscribed the date 1874 on the picture, he worked for seven years on eight separate canvases before he finished with it. His Proserpine, like his model Jane Morris, is an exquisitely beautiful woman, with delicate facial features, slender hands, and flawlessly pale skin set off by her thick raven hair. Rossetti painted it at a time when his mental health was extremely precarious and his love for Jane Morris was at its most obsessive.
Unable to decide as a young man whether to concentrate on painting or poetry, his work is infused with his poetic imagination and an individual interpretation of literary sources. His accompanying sonnet to this work is a poem of longing: "And still some heart unto some soul doth pine," carrying an inescapable allusion to his yearning to seduce Jane from her unhappy marriage with William Morris. Proserpine had been imprisoned in Pluto's underground realm for tasting the forbidden pomegranate. Jane, trapped by convention, was also tasting forbidden fruit. There is a deeper meaning in the painting as Rossetti stayed with Jane at Kelmscott Manor during the summer months each year and in winter she returned to stay with William Morris, thus paralleling Proserpine's freedom during summer.
In Roman mythology, Proserpine, daughter of Jupiter and Ceres, was carried off to the Underworld (Hades) by Pluto, who married her despite her love for Adonis. When Ceres begged Jupiter to return her daughter to Earth, he agreed, on condition that Proserpine had not eaten any fruits in Hades. As Proserpine had eaten six pomegranate seeds, it was decreed that she should remain in Hades for six months of the year and be allowed on Earth for the other six.

As today was Spring like...
Spring
Christina Rossetti
Frost-locked all the winter,
Seeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,
What shall make their sap ascend
That they may put forth shoots,
Tips of tender green,
Leaf, or blade, or sheath;
Telling of the hidden life
That breaks forth underneath,
Life nursed in its grave by Death.
Blows the thaw-wind pleasantly,
Drips the soaking rain,
By fits looks down the waking sun:
Young grass springs on the plain;
Young leaves clothe early hedgerow trees;
Seeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,
Swollen with sap, put forth their shoots;
Curled-headed ferns sprout in the lane;
Birds sing and pair again.
There is no time like Spring,
When life's alive in everything,
Before new nestlings sing,
Before cleft swallows speed their journey back
Along the trackless track, —
God guides their wing,
He spreads their table that they nothing lack,
Before the daisy grows a common flower,
Before the sun has power
To scorch the world up in his noontide hour.
There is no time like Spring,
Like Spring that passes by;
There is no life like Spring-life born to die,
Piercing the sod,
Clothing the uncouth clod,
Hatched in the nest,
Fledged on the windy bough,
Strong on the wing:
There is no time like Spring that passes by,
Now newly born, and now
Hastening to die.

“I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing robin, sing:
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.”
Christina Rossetti

#OTD 1830 wurde Christina #Rossetti geboren – eine der bedeutendsten englischsprachigen #Lyrikerin (alle Geschlechter) des 19. Jahrhunderts. Rossetti gehört nicht zu den vergessenen Autorinnen, ihr #GoblinMarket gehört zum #Kanon viktorianischer #lyrik Aber die Breite ihres Werkes und seine ästhetische Innovativität wird oft unterschätzt. Auch, weil sie sich als christliche, religiöse Autorin verstand. In the Bleak Midwinter ist dafür ein gutes Beispiel. #womenwriter

Réfugié à Kelmscott Manor en 1874, Dante Gabriel #Rossetti se souvient. Il se souvient des débuts du mouvement #préraphaélite, des modèles qui ont posé pour lui… Et de la belle et rebelle Elizabeth Siddal, muse, poète et artiste qui vient hanter ses nuits.
Born #OTD 1811, William Bell Scott, seen in Max Beerbohm's cartoon looking quizzically at the Pre-Raphaelite circle, wondering what makes it all buzz around Rossetti. Meanwhile, Rossetti's pet wombat looks quizzically up at Scott! https://victorianweb.org/painting/scott/biography.html #caricature #PreRaphaelites #Rossetti
