Rossetti's main woman on this one:
Florence borrows from Millais' Ophelia here:
And here of course Bowie reversed Rossetti's Sleeping Beauty & kept his eyes open

80s Japanese bands were eager to draw on existing European paintings for covers, not always fully crediting their sources. Pre-Raphaelite covers include at least Gerard's Empty Lie, Empty Dream (John Everett Millais' "Ophelia") and Irony of Fate (John William Waterhouse's "The Lady of Shallott").

Best PRB lyric mention: Hammill on "When She Comes": "...Like something out of Blake or Burne-Jones."
Good one! You get extra points for that, Brett.
I like Waterhouse and this type of art, so it's a bonus when an album has it on the cover. The only albums I have mentioned so far are the two by Gerard.
You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...
That Roy Harper lp where The Nice guest - isnt it the same pose as the Bowie?
(Too lazy and computer-power limited to look it up).
....
I thought Renbourn's "Lady & Unicorn" had a medieval tapestry-type cover.
Love the Bowie and Daltery.
Actually that Bow, Wow, Wow lass was only 15 when that photo was taken.
I would therefore logically include the Blind Faith Album cover here next,
but this is far sexier...

At risk of being banned from this forum, can I also include this?

Dali's Car is American artist.
Bow Wow is French.
Get it together.
Likewise

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_Wow_Wow - English
Well at least the bands are
BowWow (shitband) is a take on Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass".
Dali's Car is Maxfield Parrish (born Philadelphia)
Crissake man! Get it together.
The band in the photo above is Bow Wow Wow, and they were British. I remember when they broke, as Annabelle Lewin caused quite a stir in the British press. They were known for "the Burundi Beat," sound, which was based on tribal African rhythms.
