Tate Gallery, London. • A blending of apparent opposites-Victorian prettiness and sensual allure • BeataBeatrix references Beatrice, from Dante’s Vita Nuova. Dante’s muse. • Rossetti’s wife Elizabeth Siddal, who died of an opium overdose the prior year. • A red dove delivers a poppy in her hands; the scene is Rossetti’s memorial to his late wife.
