Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood

Rossetti in the Subway

Once again I must express my gratitude to Jack Challem for sending me such a marvelous image.  Jack was recently in London and just happened across this mural inspired by Rossetti’s The Beloved in the Pimlico Underground
station, which is the nearest stop to the Tate Britain.  See a picture of the original image, painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, below:

Previously, Jack has shared images of Elizabeth Siddal’s grave, a handwriting analysis of both Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal, and a scan of Rossetti and Siddal’s marriage certificate.

Thank you very much for this! I will have to go off to Pimlico to see it for myself.

Lizzie Siddal was my gt gt gt gt aunt.

It is so nice to see Pre-Raphaelite art in the public arena. What a great idea!

Love this mural! In Atlanta, Georgia, we have Scarlet and Rhett Butler instead! Cindy
