Can Anyone Identify This Painting?

By Dante Gabriel Rossetti. I've googled dozens of listings of his work and not found it. I'd like to find a print by a reliable source.

Yes Atheist, it's art, a representation and not a ruddy science paper.

^^^ I'm not sure what would have offended Evelyn de Morgan the most! It might have been the critical comments of Atheist and Vagus but I think that it's far more likely to have been DTC comparing her work to a Renaissance painter! The pre-Raphaelites detested the Renaissance style. That's what their movement was all about!

[DTCwordfan]

Exactly - I hoped that someone would come back with that remark!

How many frescoes did the Pre-Raphaels paint? Think that they missed out.

Thanks for all the responses...I didn't expect so many.
While I did think the painting was different for Rossetti, the Amazon link identifies it as such. I'd never seen it before so that was all I could go by.

Toorak, thank you for being the first to identify it, and thanks everyone else who followed with more information.

Though I'm not a *pink person*, I thought it might make a statement on my deep teal blue walls. I adore the pre-Raphaelites, and have done for a long time.

According to the wiki link // Poppies, symbolic of sleep, peace, death and the artist's pacifism, are listlessly strewn by the somnolent Sleep as he passes //

It has been said many, many times before, art is subjective, we either like something or we don’t, there’s no right or wrong.
As long as we like something enough to buy it and hang it on our walls, that’s enough, doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks...does it? Doesn’t matter to me, I have all kinds of stuff on my walls.

[pastafreak]

So true...because it causes us to react emotionally first and foremost. Well it does for me...and I've got all sorts on my walls too.

Pasta, the app I used is ‘Smartify’ (free download) - it scans an artwork and if recognised gives information about it. You can use it in galleries and, as I found out this evening, on online images of works. It was recommended to me by a fellow student on an art history course.
