1864 -1882 · Goddess, double world, dream and desire
Rossetti announces symbolism by replacing the explicit story with a charged presence: pomegranate, poppy, star or hair opens a mental space more than a story.
The symbolism of Dante Gabriel Rossetti is born from the union between poetry, portrait and myth. In the 1860s and 1870s, he gradually abandoned small medieval scenes for large isolated figures. Astarte Syriaca transforms Jane Morris into a monumental goddess; his two assistants, the moon, the sun and the frontal gesture give sensuality a cosmic dimension. Beata Beatrix transposes the death of Beatrice into Dante and the memory of Elizabeth Siddal: a red bird brings the poppy to Dante and the memory of Elizabeth Siddal: a red bird brings the poppy while the solar hour marks the passage. Proserpina holds the pomegranate, some grains of which have linked her to the underground kingdom. The painting becomes an image of a being divided between two lives, reading reinforced by the situation of Jane Morris. Blessed Damozel, from a poem by Rossetti himself, shows the lover in heaven leaning towards the earthly world. Image and verses respond to each other without a single meaning closing the work. Rossetti uses recognizable attributes, but their combination remains ambiguous. The flower is not a simple iconographic key: its color, texture and place modify the state of the face. This ability to transform the model into a psychic apparition will modify the state of the face. This ability to transform the model into a psychic apparition will influence Burne-Jones, European aesthetes and symbolists.

The Rossettian symbol does not explain the figure: it increases its mystery by linking object, verse, color and desire in the same presence.
