Original Description
Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Venus Verticordia I (1864-1868) is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that radiates sensuality and mythic allure. The painting depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, holding the golden apple of discord while surrounded by lush roses and vibrant butterflies—symbols of passion and transformation. Rossetti’s signature style shines through in the intricate details, rich colors, and elongated elven features of the model, Alexa Wilding. The composition blends Renaissance influences with Pre-Raphaelite idealism, emphasizing beauty and emotional intensity. Historically, the work reflects Rossetti’s later phase, where he moved from medieval themes toward more overtly sensual, classical subjects. Venus Verticordia I remains significant as a bridge between Victorian romanticism and the Aesthetic Movement, celebrating beauty for its own sake.
For interior styling, this painting would elevate a sophisticated living room, study, or boutique office with its opulent hues and dreamy aura. Ideal spaces include rooms with warm neutrals or deep jewel tones, allowing the painting’s golds, pinks, and greens to harmonize. A gilded or ornate frame would enhance its Renaissance-inspired decadence, while modern-minimalist furniture can create an intriguing contrast. Given its intimate scale (typical of Rossetti’s panel works), it suits focal walls above mantels or console tables, where its details can be admired up close. Pair with velvet textiles, brass accents, or botanical elements (like fresh roses) to echo its lush symbolism. In offices, it adds artistic gravitas to creative or luxury workspaces, balancing inspiration and refinement.
