I'm trying to track down a painting of a woman with log red hair. Botticelli?

I remember seeing a picture of a woman with long red hair. It seemed like she was in some sort of attic and in the back ground was knights riding over green grass and I think there were birds. It%26#039;s a very whimsical picture in the style of Botticelli, but I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s actually by him.





I%26#039;d love to track down the painting. Can anyone help?





Thank You.

Don%26#039;t know, but Titian was famous for painting red-haired women.

Sounds more like one of the Pre-Raphaelites than Botticelli.





Edward Burne-Jones


Dante Gabriel Rossetti


William Holman Hunt


John Everett Millais


John William Waterhouse





Ring any bells?
Reply:Sounds like %26quot;The Lady Of Shalott%26quot; - rather a favourite of the Victorian Artist


http://www.johnwilliamwaterhouse.com/pic... - no birds, and not obviously red-haired


Rather overdramaticaly by Holman Hunt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Holma...


Red hair, attic, no Knights or birds


or perhaps, another Tennyson Poem http://calilasseia.www2.50megs.com/JMSSw...


The birds are not obvious, but they are there





Poor Mad Ned, sorry, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones


Knights, Attic, Red Hair , even some birds in the tapestry http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/i... ( a jolly good reason to visit Newcastle )
