A teaser for the exhibition I'm curating in Winchester.
Opening 15th Nov, we'll show the work of Jane & May alongside the art of #WilliamMorris.
It includes Jane as 'Blanzifiore' by D G Rossetti - a haunting portrait for early Spring.
www.hampshireculture.org.uk/event/beauty...
A bust-length oil painting of Jane Morris, holding snowdrops in one hand. She has three primroses tucked in her dark wavy hair, above her ear. Her green velvet dress is slipping slightly, showing the back of her neck and some of her shoulder. She looks towards the viewer, but does not meet our gaze.
