Last stand of the english roses

These beautiful paintings are by John Waterhouse, a british painter whom I absolutely love mostly of the female characters he portrays from literary works.

(I really do wish a man would write so greatly of me as Dante did about Beatrice. La Vita Nuova, melted my heart.)

1888

Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May
1909
Spring Spreads One Green Lap of Flowers

1910

Windswept

1902

Ophelia

The Shrine
