# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Dante Gabriel Rossetti founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, a revolt against academic painting that looked back to medieval intensity and forward to Symbolism. His early work paired poetry influenced by Keats and Blake with paintings like The Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849), often writing sonnets to accompany his own pictures. From around 1860 his style thickened into something darker and more sumptuous—dense Italian Renaissance color, single female figures pulled from a small circle of models, backgrounds lush with vegetation. His muses were Elizabeth Siddal, whom he married; Fanny Cornforth; and Jane Morris, each face recurring like an obsession. He also produced drawings, prints, and book illustrations, including work for his sister Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market. His influence stretched to Swinburne, William Morris, Burne-Jones, and the Aesthetic movement that followed—sensuality as subject, beauty as doctrine.
