Appendix to The Dream of a Victorian Quattrocento: D.G. Rossetti's answer to the Dilemma of his Anglo-Italian Identity
Classification in works of Italian or English inspiration has been made according to the nationality of the author. When no source is indicated, it must be assumed that Rossetti drew upon either ancient mythology — in which case the Italian influence is the strongest, as the myths transited via Italy before being recuperated by other civilisations — or his own inspiration. The language in which the title was chosen has then been used as the reference for classification. Occasionally a single painting is known under two different titles, one English and one Italian. In that case, both inspirations have been mentioned. Similarly, when the nationality of the author and the language of the title do not match, both inspirations have been mentioned.
