Dante Gabriel Rossetti

So this is me, being back in Berlin, full of energy!

And whilst cruising around the streets of Rome i noticed an exhibition in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna showing paintings of one of my favourite Victorian artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 - 1882). His work influenced the European Symbolists (Gustav Klimt) and  his deep sense for feminity, their beauty and

sensuality often reinforced with elaborate floral paraphernalia 

leaves me everytime more than only hypnotized
