This central background image in this painting, framed by two walls of shrubbery, is an overwhelmingly lit maritime cityscape, presumably showing a bridge over the Arno.
This central background image in this painting, framed by two walls of shrubbery, is an overwhelmingly lit maritime cityscape, presumably showing a bridge over the Arno. The right background contains a well, next to which is a shadowy man holding a book and staring at the red tunic-wearing man on the left, who carries a flaming heart and personifies love. To the right of the title character is a sundial set at nine o'clock, while the redheaded title character herself, wearing a green and red outfit, sits with her head back and eyes closed in a trancelike state, perhaps foreshadowing her imminent death. A red bird flies in to drop a white poppy in the hands of the title character, who represents the painter's wife, Elizabeth Siddal. FTP, identify this painting that alludes to the poet Dante's love for the title character, a work by Dante Rossetti.
