That pathetic drivel in that rag of a newspaper seems to have lifted most of its "information" from Desperate Romantics.<br /><br />I would so love to be able to visit that exhibition however... It must be stunning! And the curators hopefully would be better than the ones I came into contact with in the Australian "Pre-Raphaelite Drawing" exhibition - when my Dad and I bought our tickets the lady asked us why we were wasting our money here instead of at the Modernism exhibition. We set her to rights! (And bought the glorious book on PRB Drawing too, to add to my shelf behind my bed :)) Truly though, there is nothing to beat seeing the actual drawings and paintings that the artists themselves touched and to think that, but for the odd century or so, I could be standing beside them watching their fingers make the master-strokes...Laura Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840020148267981868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-16136106907758296362012-09-10T16:19:45.193+01:002012-09-10T16:19:45.193+01:00Sam, I sympathize.

If you are anywhere near Birmingham then they have a rather lovely exhibition of Victorian pictures on at present too (which I will endeavor to see in October) (again, another jaunt!)Kirsty Stonell Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342964877965021654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-10906392783019085892012-09-10T11:09:27.926+01:002012-09-10T11:09:27.926+01:00Fantastic post.

Alas, I do not live in London and have no way of getting there, part of me wants to avoid anything PRB-related for the next few months becasue I am so depressed about this :(Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13207697662410132270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-59272957595199199252012-09-10T06:13:46.745+01:002012-09-10T06:13:46.745+01:00I'm over-excited and must contain myself.

Love the post - a few things spring to mind. Firstly in "Jesus washing the feet of St Peter", there is a depiction of Rossetti centre back, with his arm around someone who looks (tho a bit crude) like a version of Lizzie. As a rare image of them together it's quite touching. Secondly Anthony Hopkins nicked that pose in "Too Late" in "Howards End". And the cupcakes rock. xMoyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995361991804810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-80608535490840449912012-09-09T06:50:21.528+01:002012-09-09T06:50:21.528+01:00I forgot Wombats!
