A continuation on the theme of etheral beauties and the Pre-Raphaelite legacy. It seems as though this is a trend co-inciding with the opening of a major exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. (May 20 to October 26, metmuseum.org)
As Elizabeth Siddal, the muse of Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais played the perfect tragic heroine, lying body submerged for a period of four months, as he realised her comparison to Shakespeare's Ophelia. Elson, our modern muse lies, as Elizabeth Siddal, femme fatal, in a wet dress, the creation of the image a masterpiece of research, hair and makeup, stylists and assistants, in a matter of hours.
