1828 - 1882

Born in London.

Studied at Sass's drawing academy for four years.

Then in 1846, Rossetti was enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools.

In 1848 he met Holman Hunt, and through Hunt, Rossetti became acquainted with Millais, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was born.

Married Elizabeth Siddal.

She died two years later of a laudanum overdose.

Rossetti had her interned with the only extent and complete manuscript of his poems.

However, he had her exhumed seven years later so as to retrieve his work.

The last decade of his life was spent mostly in a state of semi-invalid hermitry.
