In this post we’ll take a look at a very popular topic for the Pre-Raphaelite painters: the heroine of John Keats’s poem “La Belle Dame Sans Merci”. At once beautiful and cr…
1867 Modelled by a London actress - Miss Clive (Mary Emma Jones) who was also his lover and mother of his ten children! She was renowned as one of the greatest beauties of her time. It was begun whilst a poor Sandys was living with Rossetti in Cheyne Walk (London). Unfortunately Rossetti accused Sandys of plagiarism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Frederick_Augustus_Sandys

Let me introduce you Christina Rossetti. (In Microsoft Bing's interpretation:)Christina was a poet and an absolute icon - although she's been fairly unknown (except for those being really into her). In retrospect, I think she represents a good tie between being quite traditional but also her own little thing - and both pretty humbly but unapologetically. Born in 1830 in England as the sister of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (a passionate painter), she was around (and maybe also somewhat part of) a newl
Seymour Stein used his wealth earned from discovering Madonna to buy Symbolist and Pre-Raphaelite artworks. Now he's selling a chunk of them.
Edward Robert Hughes RWS (5 November 1851 - 23 April 1914) was an British painter who worked prominently in watercolours.
This picture was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite painters as well as lovely artist Isabela Lepek. This past weekend I went to the Salton Sea and the nearby sand dunes. The Salton Sea is a little known treasure in California. It used to be a sea and it got its water from runoff from the Colorado River, but since that water stopped flowing it has been in the process of dying. The beaches have fish bones all over the place, there are abandoned things everywhere...a surreal place. I didn't get to explore a ton of it because, like the blonde that I am, I got my car stuck in the sand while trying to drive to the beach. 4 hours and a drastic drop of temperature later, someone managed to pull us out. I did this picture right after that on the beach and lit the scene with the car headlights. A picture from the sand dunes to follow :) facebook | formspring | website | blog | twitter
