Specifically, I'd Like to know the title and Artist, and possibly somewhere that I can get it in poster form.
Thanks everyone and blessed be!

I love the double circular format of the nymphs oon the right and the one with Hylas on the left... it is consistant with the lillypads :)

Myst, thank you so much! I've always loved "Ophelia" (below) and never knew who did it! I just clicked on the link and can't wait to go further into the site. Thanks!!! :)

i love his Circe's... 'Circe Invidiosa' (her eyes!) and 'Circe offering the Cup to Ullysses' (the throne).
i think he's the best of the 'post pre-Rafaelites' (is that a word?).

here's something related from the History forum... http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?threadid=15404
