- Sir John Everett Millais, Ophelia. Ophelia is my favorite painting at the Tate Britain. It’s a classic Pre-Raphaelite work with bright colors, a dreamy visionary quality, and a tragic theme of wasted youth.
- John William Waterhouse, The Lady of Shalott. Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott is an incredible masterpiece in the Tate Britain. It transports viewers back forty years earlier when the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood dominated the middle of the century.
- Henry Wallis, Chatterton. Chatterton is a highly romanticized painting. It created a sensation when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy. It’s an example of the Victorian approach to history painting.
- Rossetti, Beata Beatrix. This is another Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece at the Tate Britain. The inspiration for the painting was Dante’s Vita Nuova. That work tells the story of Dante’s idealized and unrequited love for Beatrice.
