The Day Dream (painting)
''The Day Dream'' or, as it was initially intended to be named, ''Monna Primavera'', is an oil on canvas painting by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood founder Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The work, which measures in height by wide, was undertaken in 1880 and depicts Jane Morris posed in a seated position on the bough of a sycamore tree. A small stem of honeysuckle is in her hand, a token of love in the Victorian era, that may be an indication of the secret affair the artist was immersed in with her at the time. The artwork was left to the Victoria and Albert Museum by Constantine Alexander Ionides in 1900.
==Background==
During 1878 Rossetti completed a chalk sketch of Morris, his secret lover, who he had met at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in 1857. She was the model for several of his well known paintings including ''Proserpine''. The drawing was displayed above the mantlepiece in Rossetti's studio. Initially the painting was to be called ''Monna Primavera,'' or ''Vanna Primavera'', possibly inspired by ''La Vita Nuova'', a narrative that captivated Rossetti and was the basis for earlier pieces of his works of art. Rossetti was also a poet and penned sonnets to accompany several of his paintings; the last composition in his series entitled ''Sonnets for Pictures'' is associated with this painting. The sonnet reads:
Rossetti had not initially been fully satisfied with the painting and he made several revisions to it. He wrote to Morris apologising for copying the feet of another woman to the picture. An earlier painting of Morris, entitled ''The Salutation of Beatrice'', had similarly used a different model's hands in the final version.
