I would have sat and contemplated the stories behind each painting for hours if the gallery wasn't so full of people. Put a nymph anywhere and I'm captivated.
Many of the paintings are based on folklore, mythology and poetry by Tennyson and Blake. The paintings are detailed, rich, descriptive and highly romantic - stories of lovesick women looking languorous. I recommend it to anyone who wont feel sick looking at so many sumptuous colours.
