I sort of love the weirdly masculine, yet uber romantic female figures of Rossetti's paintings, I think he could only paint a beautiful pouting lip, even his self portrait has those lips. I feel as though the people he paints are not quite real exactly, they just seem like illustrations, but really really beautiful ones. He's an interesting figure- along with William Morris, and worth reading about-especially if unrequited love and star crossed lovers are your thing.
