REPRESENTATIONS OF BEATRIZ, DANTESQUE MUSE, THROUGH THE EYES OF PRE-RAPHAELITE BROTHERHOOD

Authors

Abstract

Beatriz, the famous Dantesque muse, renews herself every century and finds different representations and interpretations throughout each era. In the Victorian Era, with the advent of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, the character resurfaces in all its symbolic vigor as inspiration in the works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), and Marie Spartali Stillman (1847-1927), from whom we aim to analyze the representations of the muse, aiming to highlight not only the relevance of the character but also the artists and the Pre-Raphaelite movement, emphasizing how literature, in addition to dialoguing with literature itself, also dialogues with other artistic spheres.
