    The Portrait of Beatrice examines both Dantes and D. G. Rossettis 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 painters own interiority in a secularized age. By analyzing Dantes Vita Nova alongside Rossettis Hand and Soul and St. Agnes of Intercession, which inaugurates the Victorian genre of imaginary portrait tales, this book examines how Dante and Rossetti explore the tension between word and image by creating imaginary portraits. The imaginary portrait-Dantes sketched angel appearing in the Vita Nova or the paintings evoked in Rossettis narratives-is not (only) a non-existent artwork: it is an artwork whose existence lies elsewhere, in the words alluding to its inexpressible quality. At the same time, thinking of Beatrice as an imaginary Lady enables us to move beyond the debate about her actual existence. Rather, it allows us to focus on her reality as a miracle made into flesh, which language seeks incessantly to grasp. Thus, the intergenerational dialogue between Dante and Rossetti-and between thirteenth and nineteenth centuries, literature and painting, Italy and England-takes place between different media, oscillating between representation and denial, mimesis and difference, concealment and performance. From medieval Florence to Victorian London, Beatrices imaginary portrait touches upon the intertwinement of desire, poetry, and art-making in Western culture.
