Pre-Raphaelite Paintings

England's Manchester City Art Gallery, renowned for its stunning collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, has loaned a good few of its Victorian beauties to this prestigious gallery on the 42nd floor of the Yasuda insurance building. Paintings on display include Dante Gabriel Rossetti's images of Elizabeth Siddal, the wavy-haired red-head who obsessed him before he subsequently married, buried and then exhumed her to retrieve some poetry - that he'd placed in her coffin - for publication.
