About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool stands you before Dante's Dream, the largest canvas Dante Gabriel Rossetti ever painted. It follows the Victorian poet-painter's lifelong fixation on the medieval Italian poet Dante and his Beatrice, and the collectors who found that the finished picture did not suit them. Look for the angel in red and the women in green as you listen.
