Several years ago, I saw a beautiful picture of a mermaid on the cover of Smithsonian magazine - I believe this painting was done by Waterhouse, although I'm not sure. Do you know anything about this one, and better yet, is there any way that you could include it on your page? BTW - this is one of my favorite web sites of all. My browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) makes it very easy to turn a web picture into my desktop picture, and I love to get into this site and change every few days to another Pre-Raphaelite picture. EXCELLENT job!

re Troy Katterhorn on Rossetti : I would first refer you to David Riede's "Dante Gabriel Rossetti Revisited" -- it's new, (part of the Twaine's series) and exactly what you're after. It has an excellent review of resources that will guide you on. Joan Rees is excellent as well, and John Hollander's essay at the beginning of "The Essential Rossetti" is a standard. I might mention that you should be VERY cautious in approaching the 'popular' novel and biography concerning DGR. By the 1880's, he was sort of 'bigger than life', latched onto by the advant-guard generation much like John Lennon is today. A sort of backlash seems to follow this sort of idolatry. He had an unusual and fascinating life, and is the subject of myth and a certain animus by the 'purgatives' and the counter-misogenists (the last bit is my own knee-jerk explaination...). You will read in the Victorian Web that he had no interest in religion. This, about the man that wrote "Hand and Soul", and made it a cornerstone of his life... Like many in his time, he had a broad (and deep) background in what might be termed the 'non-traditional' resources of 'wisdom'. He was one of those souls that understood God as something more than a man in the sky with a beard who makes up all the 'thou shalt nots'. (Compare this with Holman Hunt, much as I love him...) I refer you to Joseph Cambell's "Transformation of Myth through Time" and the chapters on the Perennial Philosophers for this perspective. Most of all, though, read Rossetti, search the paintings and drawings for symbols. Even when you think you don't 'get him', you do...

This is for Denise Imwold. Information about "Destiny" by Waterhouse: ... In 1899 the Boer War had begun in South Africa, and in the spring of 1900 300 artist donated works to the Artists' War Fund in support of the British troops. After being exhibited in the London Guildhall, the pictures were auctioned by Christie's who waived the £12,000 profit in favour of the Fund. "Destiny" was painted by Waterhouse especially for the cause, as shown by his own inscription "Artists' War Fund" above his signature, and was selected by "The Studio" as one of the most noterworthy in the exhibition. The girl drinking a libation to the departing heroes was a favourite model for the rest of his career; statuesque in her beauty, she casts a sumpathetic gaze towards the ships already under sail. Waterhous'e setting is typical of his origins -Italianate and geometrical: the circles of the mirror and its stand are repeated in the arches of the tiled loggia and the front of the lectern.

The painting was inspired by the leaving for Australia by the PRB member Thomas Woolner (sculpter). The artist was quoted saying about the painting " It treats of the emigration movement, which attained its culminating point in 1852". I got the above information from a book titled 'The Pre-Raphaelites' by Timothy Hilton. (Thames and Hudson ISBN 0-500-20102-1). 'The last of England' is on the front cover of my copy.

I am curious about the legend depicted in Burne-Jones' painting "King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid". I am interested in knowing more of this story, and where it originates. I know that there are several very brief references to Cophetua and the beggar maid in Shakespeare, but these are obviously references to an existing legend. Does anybody know anything more?

Although I'm a big fan of PreRaphaelite work, especially John William Waterhouse, I'm also a big fan of the American Pop Artist of the next generation, Maxfield Parrish. Any idea if Parrish was at all influenced by the PreRaphelites? The subjects of his work always seem very similiar to the Pre Raphaelites. Just curious! Thanks!

In Sir Edward Burne- Jones' bio his life dates from 1833 to 1982. That means he would have been 149 when he died!!!! Tell me that I have misunderstood something.
