The Pre-Raphaelites

One of my favorite movements in art is the Pre-Raphaelite movement of the late 1800s/early 1900s. A prominent figure was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who painted the picture below. An oft-appearing subject was Jane, the wife of William Morris. Last year we saw an exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum of works on loan from the Delaware Art Museum, which boasts an extensive Pre-Raphaelite collection including this painting and the chair below - built by William Morris.
