With this question weighing on my mind, I thought it would be fun this week to see if I could pull a handful out to share. I somehow managed to think of five works under the umbrella of the Pre-Raphaelite movement ( my favorite period in art) that I seem to keep coming back to for inspiration. These really don't begin to scratch the surface but they are some that I certainly wish I had created.
In no particular order:
( Ophelia John Everett Millais)
(The Lady of Shalott John Waterhouse)
( Veronica Veronese Dante Gabriel Rossetti)
(Tree of Forgiveness Edward Coley Burne-Jones)
(Night and Sleep Evelyn De Morgan)

Oh, I am with you all the way, I love the Pre-Raphaelites!
I have a reproduction of "The meeting on the turret stairs" by Frederick William Burton hanging in my bedroom. It was given to me by someone special.
Beautiful choices here.;)

What an interesting question! That's got me thinking!
Too many to count.
but one of them would be The Painter's Honeymoon, by Lord Frederic Leighton. I love the way the folds of her dress catch the light. Magic.
Ah, the Lady of Shalot... makes me think of Anne of Green Gables every time! ha ha
