Resumen

El ensayo ofrece un análisis de los cuadros de Marie Spartali Stillman inspirados en Dante. Las pinturas de la artista inglesa de origen griego, creadas en el periodo comprendido entre 1880 y 1914, no sólo atestiguan la influencia de la idea prerrafaelita de Dante, sino que también entran en el canon de una iconografía que hasta entonces -con la excepción de las ilustraciones de Sophie Giacomelli sobre la Commedia- era predominantemente masculina. Formada en el ambiente prerrafaelita, como demuestran los cuadros de temática dantesca, para Spartali la práctica artística es también una forma de encontrar su propio estilo, emanciparse de sus «padres» y encontrar un espacio como artista y como mujer en la Inglaterra victoriana.
