millais

saw the john everett millais exhibition at the Tate Britain on Friday - astounding stuff

loved this one, it was absolutely massive and this does it no justice, the diamonds on the girl's tiara, necklace and belt sparkle like real ones when youre stood in front of the painting. It's called "Speak! Speak!" and is of a Roman soldier who has been reading letters from his lost love when she appears as a ghost.

Most amazing and moving exhibition Ive ever been to.
