Dante Alighieri, geboren 1265 in Florenz, schuf mit seiner "Göttlichen Komödie" nicht nur die erste herausragende Dichtung in italienischer Sprache, sondern zugleich eines der bedeutendsten Werke der abendländischen Literatur.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti was born on May 12th, 1828 in London, England. Together with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, they developed and founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It’s mission: to reform English art and return to the detail, intense colours and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art. The brotherhood's magazine, The Germ, was first published in 1850, with Rossetti contributing a poem, 'The Blessed Damozel', and a story about a fictional Italian artist inspired by a vision of a woman.
