Dante’s Dream 1875

"Dante's Dream" is a 1875 drawing by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was a group of artists rebelling against the academic art styles of the time. The image depicts two women, one leaning over the other in a pose that suggests a kiss, creating a sense of intimacy and mystery. This artwork is created using a rich palette of browns, suggesting a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. The Italian inscription at the top, "Io sono in pace", which translates to "I am at peace", provides a clue to the possible theme of the work. It may depict a scene of love, loss, or perhaps a dream.
