A fine art giclée print of this magnificent portrait illustrates a poem by the 19th century writer John Keats. Isabella cradles a pot containing the head of her lover, Lorenzo, buried beneath a basil plant. Lorenzo had been murdered by Isabellas two cruel brothers. Skulls on the pot refer to Lorenzos death, and dying roses on the ground symbolise the end of love. The artist William Holman Hunt was one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood of artists. The picture was owned by the Tynemouth collector James Hall. High resolution prints printed for next day despatch; canvas and framed in 5 days.
