		<title>The Maids of Elfin-Mere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dante Gabriel Rossetti&#8217;s first published illustration was The Maids of Elfen-Mere, drawn to illustrate a ballad by William Allingham titled &#8220;The Maids of Elphin-Mere&#8221;.  I am unaware why Rossetti chose a different spelling of the title.  I&#8217;ve searched through several books and haven&#8217;t found anything more than passing mentions.  The Rossetti Archive includes it in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jane Morris as Beatrice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although Rossetti painted Jane Morris repeatedly, it is a bit unusual to see her painted as Beatrice.  Beatrice, Dante Alighieri&#8217;s  unrequited love,  is a character Rossetti strongly associated with Elizabeth Siddal.   There is another painting of Jane Morris as Beatrice at The Rossetti Archive titled  The Salutation of Beatrice, also known as The Lady in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Study for Fair Rosamund</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The more I study the Pre-Raphaelites, the more I discover that I often prefer the artist&#8217;s studies rather than the paintings themselves.  Although I love Fair Rosamund, I find the study has a sad and intimate feel that isn&#8217;t quite captured the same way in Rossetti&#8217;s finished product.  Here is Dante Gabriel Rossetti&#8217;s study for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wine of Circe by Edward Burne-Jones, Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Wine of Circe, painted by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones.   Dante Gabriel Rossetti wrote a sonnet inspired by this painting, which you can read a great deal of background on at The Rossetti Archive: DGR wrote the sonnet for the express purpose of having “some record of [Burne-Jones'] work in my book [i.e., in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Circe Invidiosa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Waterhouse is an adept at blending feminine beauty and mystery.  Here he depicts the goddess Circe amidst shades of greens and blues, creating a world that draws us in and mesmerizes.   If you really look at this painting, you can feel yourself transported into Circe&#8217;s world:  you can hear the water echoing through a secluded grotto.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celebrate Earth Day with a Pre-Raphaelite Flair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do the Pre-Raphaelites have to do with our modern Earth Day? Nothing, really. But I think that the principles they followed and the love of nature they embraced can inspire us to slow down and appreciate natural beauty. Prior to the Pre-Raphaelites, if an artist painted a flower in a picture it would have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helen of Troy by Evelyn De Morgan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a weakness for art inspired by literary and mythological themes, so I can not resist comparing Evelyn De Morgan&#8217;s Helen of Troy with the Pre-Raphaelite artists that came before her.   I&#8217;ve written a bit about Eveylyn De Morgan before in this post.  She was heavily influenced by Burne-Jones and was inspired by [...]]]></description>
