 |
||||||
| Le Roman de la Rose is a French medieval poem written by Guillaume de Lorris, and later expanded by Jean de Meun. In the allegorical work, a young poet dreams of idealized love, and in his dream the woman he adores is symbolized by a rosebud in a garden representing courtly life. The poem influenced literature in Europe for several centuries. This painting entitled Roman de la Rose (1864, Tate Gallery, London) was executed by 19th-century English painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti. | ||||||
