G. Rossetti''s intellectual experiences in the light of a common concern about visuality. Both render, in different times and contexts, something that resists clear representation, be it the divine beauty of the angel-women or the depiction of the painter''s own interiority in a secularized age. By analyzing Dante''s Vita Nova alongside Rossetti''s Hand and Soul and St. Agnes.
