“Beata Beatrix is one of many portraits of beautiful women painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the last two decades of his life. During this time, Rossetti created many pictures of his favorite models luxuriously dressed in Renaissance-looking costumes and jewelry, often without the story or content associated with his earlier paintings, such as Ecce Ancilla Domini.” (R. J. Easby)

“Chronologically, Modernism refers to the period from 1850 to 1960.  It begins with the Realist movement and ends with Abstract Expressionism.” (P. Giuntini)
