"Monna Rosa" is an oil on canvas painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created in 1867. This Pre-Raphaelite artwork depicts a woman in a lavish white and gold gown, delicately trimming roses from a vase. The painting is known for its intricate details, such as the floral patterns on the gown and the delicate rendering of the roses. The woman's contemplative expression and the overall mood of the painting evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection. This work is representative of Rossetti's fascination with beauty, symbolism, and the Pre-Raphaelite ideals of artistic realism.
