I've spent the last two hours or so looking at his paintings, and I think I've seen every one. Now I just have to pick one to write my Art History story about... The problem is, most of them already have stories, like the Lady of Shalott ones or the Lady Clare painting. Stupid poets...
The one I'll probably end up doing is Fair Rosamund. Apparently she was Henry II's mistress, and the painting is really interesting - she's leaning out the window and her nurse is peeking out from behind the tapestry, watching her. I'm almost afraid to go research her - what if that just ruins my story? Maybe I'll do some brainstorming, and then look at the legends. Yeah.
This assignment is kind of cool. It's like fanfiction for art.
