EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures Dante Gabriel Rossetti's mesmerizing painting, "How They Met Themselves" created in the mid-19th century. This exquisite gouache artwork, measuring 33.9x27.3 cm, is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. In this enchanting scene, we witness a surreal encounter that defies time and logic. Two figures stand before us - a man and a woman - both seemingly transfixed by their own reflections in an ornate mirror. The atmosphere is ethereal as they come face to face with themselves, or rather their doppelgängers. Rossetti's mastery shines through as he skillfully renders every detail: from the faint glow emanating from the sword held by one of the twins to the delicate likeness between each pair. The influence of Pre-Raphaelite art is evident in his meticulous attention to color and texture. This haunting apparition hints at deeper themes of identity and self-discovery prevalent during Rossetti's era. It also serves as a testament to his muse and lover Elizabeth Siddal who frequently posed for him. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting turned photo print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand Rossetti's artistic genius and his exploration of mystical realms beyond our understanding.
