Dante Gabriel Rossetti considered this oil on canvas piece as one of his best works. A portrait of the model Alexa Wilding as ‘the Venetian ideal of female beauty’, it explores her beauty and that of the sumptuous fabric of her clothing and accessories. The title refers to a character from the poet Dante's Vita Nuova, whose name means ‘vain woman’. However, Rossetti later attempted to change the name to Belcolore (beautiful colour), feeling that the previous title didn’t fit such a modern work. Still, the work continued to be known as Monna Vanna, and is one of his best-known pieces.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 – 1882) was an English painter, poet, illustrator and translator. In 1848 he founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood alongside Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Influenced by literature and medieval revivalism, he would often compose poetry to accompany his paintings, and William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Rossetti found each other a source of mutual inspiration. He was married to fellow artist Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, who modelled for many of his paintings. Several his works form part of Tate’s collection, including many of his most celebrated paintings.
