This is a portrait of the pre-Raphaelites and the women they loved and painted. Much has been written about the lives and works of Dante Gabriel Rosetti, John Everett Millais, Holman Hunt, Edmund Burne-Jones and William Morris, but the women they celebrated in their paintings are still mysteries to us.
