I just encountered the paintings of John William Waterhouse. I absolutely love his style and I just don't understand why I haven't come upon him earlier!
But it's pretty interesting because he is also from England, just like Jane Austen, who wrote Sense and Sensibility. Many of his pieces have to do with legends and myths, and lots of them are quite romantic.
I suppose any romantic story can find a place in Sense and Sensibility... it's just stocked with every possible circumstance is amorous type! Forbidden love, outspoken love, quiet and shy love, love at first sight. All these play part in Austen's book. It's quite amazing how she did it.
