who doesn't love the pre raphaelites? handsome ladies down on their luck, or gendervice-versa, or saints and goddesses or the young Jesus, and just all those streaming gorgeous colors. i wish all art was like that, always (either that, or give me some Repin). and while i don't have such an affinity towards it myself, i nonetheless accept their obsession with Arthuriana. i mean, yea, it's sexy enough, but i can personally only take so much of knights and round tables before i start to feel hugely depressed. too much metal.
i've always been drawn to John William Waterhouse's Lady of Shalott. honestly, sometimes i like to think i am her, but not as me in real life, but the girl in the painting, does that make sense? my whole life i've been looking at the world through a mirror from a tower, and then along comes Lancelot and i just lose it. just look at that look of despair on her face. that really is me sometime.
