"Fair Rosamund" is a Pre-Raphaelite oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created in 1861. The artwork depicts the titular Rosamund Clifford, mistress to King Henry II, gazing wistfully out a window with a sprig of rosemary in her hand. The painting is known for its melancholic atmosphere, delicate details, and the artist's characteristic use of rich colors and soft lines. Rossetti was a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which sought to revitalize art by returning to the style and values of the period before Raphael. "Fair Rosamund" is a prime example of this aesthetic, with its focus on symbolism, allegory, and the depiction of beauty. The artwork is often seen as a commentary on love, betrayal, and the fleeting nature of beauty.
