Currently I have been going a bit Pre- Raphaelite menntal and have come to
the conclusion that I want to spend my summer dresses like John Everett
Millais' Ophelia and prancing about in the woods. I have been buying books,
imaging what it must be like to be Elizabeth Siddal, spending ages looking at
paintings and watching videos of Florence + the Machine, and she has been
described as Pre-Raphaelite and booking tickets for Tate Britains Pre -
Raphaelite exhibition which runs from 12th September 2012 to 13th January 2013.

Also, my uni houses some Victorian art in it's Picture Gallery including Millais' 'Prince's in the Tower'!
Millais' Opehlia, safe to say he is probably my favourite of the Brotherhood though Dante Gabriel Rossetti comes close...
