The Rossettis is a new exhibition at Tate Britain devoted to the Rossetti generation; Dante Gabriel, Christina and Elizabeth (née Siddal) following their romance and radicalism through and beyond the Pre-Raphaelite years to their influence on art and design today.

This is the first retrospective of Dante Gabriel Rossetti at Tate and the largest exhibition of his iconic pictures in two decades, and the most comprehensive exhibition of Elizabeth Siddal’s work for 30 years, featuring rare surviving watercolours and important drawings.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Carol Jacobi one of the exhibition curators just after the press view at Tate Britain to find out more about the work and life of The Rossettis through this new exhibition that showcases around 150 works of art in many forms from drawing, painting and photography to poetry which can be heard in the exhibition.

The Rossettis continues at Tate Britain until 24 September 2023 and audio described guided tours by one of Tate’s Visitor Engagement Assistants can be booked in advance by either emailing [email protected] or calling 020 7887 8888
