{"product_id":"morning-music-dante-gabriel-rossetti","title":"Morning Music - Dante Gabriel Rossetti","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1864 oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, depicting a quiet, atmospheric scene of music and grooming in a warm, golden light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorning Music, painted in 1864, captures the characteristic aesthetic of Dante Gabriel Rossetti during his later period. The composition features three figures arranged in a tight, shallow space, a common trait in his work where the focus remains on the psychological state of the subjects rather than spatial depth. A central woman, her hair being dressed by an attendant, holds a small hand mirror, while a male musician plays a stringed instrument behind them. The scene is imbued with a sense of quiet domesticity, yet it retains the dreamlike quality associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRossetti employs a warm, golden palette that unifies the figures and their surroundings. The application of paint is layered and textured, creating a soft, hazy atmosphere that obscures sharp edges. The figures are adorned with jewellery and period-appropriate garments, reflecting the artist's interest in historical costume and decorative detail. The inclusion of the small blue and white vessel on the left adds a touch of chinoiserie, a popular element in the artistic circles of the time. The painting is signed with the artist's monogram in the lower right corner, a standard practice for his finished works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece demonstrates the artist's preoccupation with feminine beauty and the sensory experience of music. The expressions of the figures are contemplative, suggesting a moment of stillness in the morning light. By focusing on the act of grooming and musical performance, Rossetti elevates a mundane activity into a scene of visual harmony. The work remains a clear example of his mature style, where colour and mood take precedence over strict anatomical precision or narrative clarity. It is a study in texture, light, and the quiet interactions between individuals within a private, enclosed space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-mother-of-sisera-looked-out-a-window-albert-joseph-moore\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Mother of Sisera Looked out a Window by Albert Joseph Moore\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-young-poet-arthur-hughes\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Young Poet by Arthur Hughes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/dante-gabriel-rossetti\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Dante Gabriel Rossetti →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dante Gabriel Rossetti","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474950029647,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474962678095,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474962710863,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474962743631,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474962776399,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474962809167,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474962841935,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474962874703,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474962907471,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474962940239,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474962973007,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Morning-Music_Poster_CompositorV1_1794406152463.jpg?v=1794444726","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/morning-music-dante-gabriel-rossetti","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
