I personally love his "Lamia" and "Pot Pourri"...Whereas Lamia being my most beloved coz of its dark theme, all angelic and godly... yet i love pot pourrie for being exact opposite...Any idea where its currently? The only info i have been able to find is from artrenewal org which says Lamia is public collection and pot pourri as private...

@shrynakesavan ...I thought Pot Pourri is at the Tate Gallery in London

Do you know the story of day and dawnstar

[joshje777]

Dont know the story...?

I only know the painting Day and the Dawnstar....The painting shows Apollo, the God of the Sun ( also the god of art, music and poetry) reaching out to kiss the lips of the frail Dawnstar, who at that moment, overwhelmed by his radiance, expires.

@yakusaorama It's boring and she needs to know that. This video isn't to talk like that, it's to just look at a good British artist who could go toe to toe with the great French and Italians before him. That's all. And here I thought Japanese people and I would get along. I love sushi.

@RoseMarieRaccioppi What the fuck is this shit? I stop reading around the third word because you bore the shit out of me. Literally the shit can't stay in my body while reading this because it's so bored.

I love Draper. "Ulysses and the Sirens" (at about 3:49) is my favorite by him.

[DannyBoy443]

I didn't know this could come out of an Englishman. Nothing good comes from that country. I'm surprised and kind of offended as an artist. Kind pissed too.

@urooj801 No one cares about Satan dude.

Does anyone knows a really good informational site of Herbert James Draper and his painting of Odyssey and the Sirens?
