  1. Did any of the pre-raphaelite lot ever paint a maelid? I can just reference the style for the drib-drab prompt, but I was sort of curious if there was one to see in that style!

      So I felt kind of stupid when I realized that “Pre-Raphaelite” did not mean “painted before Raphael’s work” (which is why I was pointing to that Athenian vase) but instead referred to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood...a bunch of guys who started painting in the late 1800s.  Oops. :blush:

      Unfortunately, Hylas and the Nymphs kind of monopolizes the Google results whenever I attempt to find paintings of nymphs from those guys.  Amusingly, though, Waterhouse did paint one of your muses!

      Get it?  ’Cause it’s called Lamia and you...have a...shutting up now.

      I used to know someone who had a print of that one on their wall! And, yeah, the more famous paintings were coloring all my search results too, which was why I thought I’d take a shot and see if anyone knew specifically. I think I’ll probably just refer to the style given they did so many classical themes (as well as Arthurian cycle and shakespeare and the like).

      Lamia was always an interestingly tragic story.
