Biography[edit | edit source]
Marriage[edit | edit source]
Rossetti was one of the major influential artists of the mid-19th century, as his work was well-received due to its sensuality and revival of medieval art.[1] By 1860, his work and his personal life were influenced by his fellow artist, model, and wife Elizabeth "Lizzie" Siddal. Once they were married, they spent time in Paris as Lizzie was reunited with her old friend, French acrobat Pierrette Arnaud.[2]
In 1861, Rossetti and his wife offered a place in their apartment building for both Pierrette and her Assassin mentor, Simeon Price, when they came to London.[3] One evening, Rossetti and Lizzie came back to find their home ransacked, especially Arnaud's room. Gabriel soon contacted the police and mentioned recent events, including housing Arnaud and Price. Within their conversation, Rossetti, Lizzie, and his guests, Pierrette and Tillie Wallin, were informed of Price's arrest.[4]
Gabriel stood guard at his residence for multiple days. One day passed as Pierrette came back from the Robinsons' shop with a fellow friend, Corporal Sawyer Halford, who met with the Rossettis.[5] The next day, as Arnaud hosted a social gathering, Rossetti entertained some of his guests as well as his wife.[6]
Months later, in 1862, Rossetti found himself meeting a newly freed Simeon at the Red Lion in Holborn. He informed Price that Pierrette had apparently gone to Dublin but came back bruised and injured. Soon, he saw Price leave as he took his cup and continued his day with his fellow cohorts.[7]
By February 1862, Dante lost his wife to a drug overdose and held a wake in his household. Depressed, Rossetti welcomed Price and Arnaud as he grieved in silence.[8]
Later life and death[edit | edit source]
After Lizzie's death, Dante moved to a house in Chelsea to grieve alone. He later recalled leaving a book of his poetry alongside Lizzie and another notebook.[9] Telling his friend Charles Augustus Howell, Dante was convinced to exhume the body to retrieve the book. Doing so, he retrieved the book but remained in grief.[10]
Surrounding his house with numerous pets, Dante later received his old friend Pierrette, who questioned him about Lizzie's exhumation. He spoke about how Howell had convinced him, and thanked Arnaud for visiting before she left.[9] Rossetti eventually died on 9 April 1882, at the age of fifty-three.[11]
