File talk:Dante Gabriel Rossetti - La Pia de Tolomei.jpeg

"Jane appears disproportionately large in most of Rossetti's pictures. The background is immaterial [sic] as long as the viewer focuses on the beauty of her face. In Pia de' Tolomei her neck seems almost dislocated, it is so strangely elongated and the whiteness of her skin shines out, defying the viewer to pay attention to any other aspect of the painting. Strangely, Jane's hair colour is misrepresented here. Her natural colour was dark brown, yet Rossetti paints it with an auburn tinge - closer to Lizzie Siddal's hair colour than Jane's. Also, her hands are twisted and intertwined in a peculiar way.[4]"
