1. Sorry I missed this....
2. Where have all the muses gone?
3. Nice straightforward presentation. Thanks for posting.
4. Bravo. Thank you for this. Where would have Rossetti been without his many models and muses?
5. Jan Marsh is very knowledgeable I having spoken to her once, 'she really knows her stuff'.
   
   I would have liked to have seen this exhibition.
   
   Another person who would have also liked to have seen it was the artist L.S.Lowry.
   
   Like myself he loved Rossetti drawings of woman.
   
   Lowry paid £5,000 for the oil painting Proserpine which later sold for over £1,000,000 Jane being the model for the painting.
   
   Rossetti was a genius and everybody knew that fact at the time.
   
   He along with William Blake was a poet and painter.
   
   Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones said ' I owe EVERYTHING to Rossetti
   
   Better stop as I could go on for ever about this great artist.
