Fine Art Friday
Let’s end another less than fabulous April - i.e. Shakespeare month (which, dear students, has been extended into May due to circumstances beyond our control) with one of my favorite pre-Raphaelite works.

Ophelia 1851-52
by John Everett Millais 1829-1896


I love the close-up. And the exquisite Lizzie Siddall really suffered for Millais’ art - soaking in water while posing.
