I love the color and detail, and I remember one of my books pointing out how the space is crowded with stuff, like the Victorians were stuffing their interiors at the time. But it wasn't until I looked at the image here that I noticed how GOOFY that dead dragon looks, with his lolling tongue and bugging eyes! I think I would have expected a somewhat more lyrical-looking dead dragon from Rossetti...or one with a nice, long neck...but not this guy!Lila Forrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264588651715835346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-87138377428846486402013-04-24T09:24:10.589+01:002013-04-24T09:24:10.589+01:00Thanks for this, loved reading it and looking at t...Thanks for this, loved reading it and looking at the beautiful images. I like the first Rossetti marriage one; he really captures that intense passionate love where you just want to slump on each other and be touching at all times!mermaidsdrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018055828491246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-34995105979673042022013-04-23T19:56:40.988+01:002013-04-23T19:56:40.988+01:00Thanks Debs, hope you had a nice St George's d...Thanks Debs, hope you had a nice St George's day!Kirsty Stonell Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342964877965021654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-21595479717598332692013-04-23T16:18:08.639+01:002013-04-23T16:18:08.639+01:00Happy St George's Day Kirsty.Love the humour i...Happy St George's Day Kirsty.Love the humour in this one [ especially the 'what's the worst that can happen?' - 'Bugger' captions!lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657087053844734497noreply@blogger.com
