| Summary | "Drawings of Rossetti" by T. Martin Wood is a critical and analytical examination of the artistic works of the celebrated Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, written in the late 19th century. The book not only showcases a collection of Rossetti’s drawings but also dives into the emotional and technical aspects of his artistry, exploring how his personal experiences and the societal changes of his time influenced his creations. It addresses Rossetti's complex relationship with beauty, emotion, and representation within his art. In this exploration, Wood delves into Rossetti's innovative approach, which imbued his drawings with rich symbolism and a distinctive emotional depth. The narrative discusses specific artworks, emphasizing how Rossetti's more intimate sketches reflect moments of his life and intimate connections, particularly with women. Wood contrasts Rossetti's work with that of his contemporaries, showcasing his dramatic sense and use of emotional storytelling through visual elements. The analysis highlights both the strengths and failings in Rossetti's technique, ultimately arguing that despite any shortcomings in craftsmanship, his art has left an indelible mark on the landscape of English art, capturing the era's shifting ideals, especially in how women were portrayed in art and society.
