Featuring the work of:

Dante Gabriel Rossetti 

Salvador Dali

Egon Schiele

All of the works featured are examples of art created by male artists who were inspired by a particular female. More often than not these muses were also their lovers. I have always been interested in the tragic love stories associated with some of these artist's bohemian lifestyles, so some of the stories I was already familiar with. For others, I looked at different artist's work for female faces to pop up more than once, then did some research on whether or not they were anyone significant.
