Title
Sorrentino
Description
English: There are three versions of this drawing. Of the other two, one is slightly larger and is without the vase and the book on the table (Surtees, no. 10) and the other has background details (illustrated in Marillier, p. 214).
This is a very early illustration to the poem, The Tales of Sorrentino, the subject of which was the interference of the devil in the course of true love and is dated to 1843 as it is mentioned in a letter to the artist's mother. The poem is now missing and is presumed lost following objections to it by Rossetti's sisters.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1882, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
