A Passion for the Pre-Raphaelites (2 of 4)

not every painting in the world is going to be in a museum. Many famous paintings are in private hands and will continue to be and there's nothing wrong with that. What I find hilarious is paintings like the ones in his home were essentially worthless in the early 60s and before that. Museums could of gobbled them up then I'm sure but they didn't. Museums also hoard paintings and don't display many either so I'm not in love with them.

I was thrilled to see ur personal collection but is there any way for the public to actually see them...

[taran777tula]

@wickandde ...You can knock on his door...lol

...his collection was on show at London's Royal Academy in 2003...

@taran777tula Lol yes I'm sure knocking on his door would go down so well, I'd probably instead get a tour of the London police station instead. And unfortunately I don't live in London either so exhibitions for the moment are out of the question :( One day soon though!!! Thanks for the upload though well, I'm a fashion student and I've only ever seen these paintings on slides and text books from my art history lectures and I've come to really love pre-raphelite art so it was a real treat! :)
