I’m so glad you liked it!! There’s something so irresistible about the way they painted. Like emotional Impressionism ❤️

Very nice!!

It's a a pleasure to read anything about the Pre-Raphaelites and to discover more people talking about them!

I think the 'Roman widow' by Rossetti is another painting fits very well to what you explained on your post.

I've seen it in the exhibition they had here in Italy last year, and it's one of the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen!

'Love in Autumn' by Simeon Solomon is another one that I think it also has this appeal of Eros and Death.

I’m so happy you enjoyed! I’ve never seen Roman Widow before, it’s gorgeous and definitely seems to make grief into a sensual experience. Thank you for these recommendations!
