The Rise & Rapid Fall of the Most Prominent Pre-Raphaelite - Art Documentary

Dante Gabriel Rossetti was an English painter and poet who came from a remarkable and talented family: his father was an exiled Italian patriot, his sister the poet Christina Rossetti, and his brother the critic William Michael Rossetti. Growing up in modest circumstances but a strongly literary environment, he at first found it hard to decide whether he should devote himself to poetry or painting. He later merged the two formats and found a rebellious group of fellow painters angered by the standards at high-end London art schools, forging a ground-breaking artistic career.
