Shakespeare, Dante, Tennyson and medieval novels · Reading to paint
Mariana waits, Hamlet turns away from Ophélie, Béatrice goes through a party: the text becomes color when the painters choose a verse, a silence and an irreversible moment.
Pre-Raphaelites read painting and paint literature. Shakespeare, Dante, Tennyson, Malory and contemporary poets provide situations where desire, expectation and death can be condensed into a gesture. Millais constructs Mariana from Tennyson's poem and inscribes boredom in the body, stained glass window and autumn leaves. Rossetti, a poet himself, transforms Dante and Shakespeare into images loaded with signs. Burne-Jones gives Tristram the suspended duration of an inner legend. Burne-Jones gives Tristram the suspended duration of an inner legend. Burne-Jones gives Tristram the suspended duration of an inner legend. Burne-Jones himself gives Tristram the suspended duration of an inner legend. Burne-Jones gives Tristram the suspended duration of an inner legend. The selection "Literature, poetry and Shakespeare among the Pre-Raphaelites" notably compares Mariana and The Madness of Tristram - Edward Burne-Jones. His reading favors space.
Pre-Raphaelite illustration does not repeat the text: it chooses the moment when a verse becomes visible without ceasing to be ambiguous.
