The Blessed Damozel, 1875-78. Dante Gabriel Rosetti.

"All beautiful women were 'Stunners' with us. Wombats were the most beautiful of God's creatures. Medievalism was our beau ideal..."

--Val Princep on D.G. Rossetti's slightly peculiar aesthetic beliefs, quoted in Hilton, The Pre-Raphaelites, Thames and Hudson, 1970.

...WOMBATS? I mean, medievalism is great, and so are beautiful women, but...WOMBATS???
