17 Red Lion Square, London: A Haven for Pre-Raphaelite Artists and Writers This evocative photograph captures the historic charm of 17 Red Lion Square in London, a significant location that played a pivotal role in the lives of some of the most influential artists and writers associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Circa 1900, this image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich artistic heritage that once thrived within these walls. The red-brick building, situated in the heart of Bloomsbury, was a popular residence for several Pre-Raphaelite luminaries. In 1851, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the charismatic leader of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, lived and worked here as a studio. Rossetti's presence at 17 Red Lion Square marked a crucial period in his artistic development, as he created some of his most iconic works during his stay. Following Rossetti, William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, two other prominent figures in the Pre-Raphaelite circle, lived at the address between 1856 and 1859. Morris, a renowned designer, poet, and socialist, and Burne-Jones, a celebrated painter and designer, shared a deep connection with Rossetti and contributed significantly to the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The shared experiences and creative exchanges that took place within the walls of 17 Red Lion Square shaped the artistic landscape of the time, fostering a unique camaraderie among the Pre-Raphaelites. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of these visionary artists and writers, who left an indelible mark on the world of art and literature.
