John William Waterhouse Hylas and the Nymphs 1894
The Pre-Raphaelites are brilliant. When mixed with the epicly entertaining literary phenomenon that is Greek myth... unbeatable. It's such an erotic piece, delicately executed, brilliantly colored... the ultimate in visual pleasure. I would never leave the Manchester Art Gallery if I had the choice. I wish I could put Hylas in my pocket and take it home with me. I'd probably be deported. Le sigh.
Waterhouse rock my socks off. Gorgeous.
it would be a good reason to be deported though (if you could keep the picture that is)
