What next! If English folks have red hair, it probably came from the Viking raiders! (smile)

That's okay .. I probably couldn't hold still long enough to be painted thoroughly by Rossetti - those paintbrushes have got to tickle.

I know there have to be famous handsome men with red hair but I can't think of any......
Jimmy Cagney, Van Johnson, from earlier generation. Remember, redheads are only 3% of the white population and whites are only 7% of global population. Not too many of us blue-eyed, red headed men out there...(ok, silver. but it used to be red.)

*LOL* I am so funny, and I haven't even been drinking.
Now we know why clowns have red hair.

My beautiful granddaughter is a red head. Her mother's father is of Scottish descent and her mother's mother is Tlingit indian. Her great grandmother on dad's side was an auburn-haired Irish gal. Sooo, who does she take it after? I think the indian genes are suppressed here.

My mother-in-law is very short, dark skinned, with black hair and dark eyes (Gypsy) and all of her grandsons (my boys) are tall, fair and red-haired. You would never guess they are related to her.

And he'd be just the guy to try somethin' like that. No wonder it took him ten years to finish paintings. ;')

Jane Burden (maiden name) was a big favorite among the PRBers, but I don't think it was because she was knockout, I think it was because her face was impassive.
Besides, the original Pre-Raphaelite "stunner" was Rossetti's wife, Elizabeth Siddal.
From Wood, Christopher. The Pre-Raphaelites. Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1981 (I own the 2000 paperback edition):
According to William Michael Rossetti, this picture (Millais' Ophelia) is the best likeness of Elizabeth Siddal ever painted.

You're a ship model builder? I just met a fighter plane model builder. There are a lot of crafty people around here.

another redhead, but with impassive features. ;') Rossetti painted "Beata Beatrix" some years after her death, and it remains my favorite of Siddal. [for all:] Lizzie died (ODed, perhaps accidentally) while pregnant with Rossetti's child, while he was off committing adultery.
We'll have to tell 'em all about the exhumation sometime...

One more Pre-Raphaelite post. ;-) I was fortunate to go to Tate Gallery in London in September 2004 where many of the Pre-Raphalite paintings are located. Unfortunately, many of them weren't there, because they were on a traveling exhibition. I did see Rossetti's first two paintings though, which were amazing to see in reality.
For those who don't have the money handy for a trip to England, the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelites in the U.S. are actually in my hometown of Wilmington, DE, at the Delaware Art Museum. Samuel Bancroft, who was from a prominent industrial family of Delaware of the mid-19th century, bought many of them, and they are now part of the museum's collection. You can see Rossetti's Lady Lilith (below) there.

That would be a nice way to spend a couple of days (Tate). Another with Jane. :')

One of my aunts had black hair and she was Norwegian. Mom always said she was like someone from Bergen, Norway. Is that true, Bergeners???

There's an extremely handsome (and very nice) young man in our church who is a redhead, as are his grandmothers on both sides. He is so good looking. I just love to watch him even if he is thirty years younger than I am. Sigh.
