William Morris 1834 1896
Contemporary and friend of artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti and architect Philip Webb, Morris was married to Jane Burden whose beauty is portrayed below in this painting by Rossetti
This is a fascinating generation and Oscar Wilde, twenty years younger, admired him deeply.
Morris trained as an architect but he has many facets which will be explored in this excellent exhibition now on in Madrid. The link below is to whet your appetite. We look forward to our visit very shortly.
