Veronica Veronese
''Veronica Veronese'' is an oil painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted in 1872 with Alexa Wilding as the model.〔 The painting was conceived as a companion to ''Lady Lilith.'' Rossetti sold the painting to one of his best clients, shipping magnate Frederick Richards Leyland.〔''Waking Dreams'', p.194.〕 In 1923 it was acquired by the estate of Samuel Bancroft which donated it in 1935 to the Delaware Art Museum where it is now displayed.
==Painting==
Like much of Rossetti's work of the 1860s and 1870s, ''Veronica Veronese'' was inspired by Venetian painting. It is believed to represent “the artistic soul in the act of creation.”〔 This theme is expounded by the fictitious quote inscribed on the frame of the painting. Though the quote is attributed on the frame to "The Letters of Girolamo Ridolfi," critics believe that Algernon Charles Swinburne or Rossetti actually wrote it.〔
The symbolism in the painting includes the uncaged bird, which may represent "the marriage of the voices of nature and the soul" and overt flower symbolism. The camomile in the bird cage may represent “energy in adversity,” the primroses youth, and the daffodils reflection.
Jane Morris lent the green dress in the picture. The violin was part of Rossetti's collection of musical instruments, and the fan also appeared in ''Monna Vanna''. The few bars of musical composition on the manuscript may have been borrowed from George Boyce.〔
