Gotta love Rossetti
Founded by a bunch of Englishmen in 1848, "The group popularized a theatrically romantic style, marked by great beauty, an intricate realism, and a fondness for Arthurian legend." (artcyclopedia.com.) Creative license is taken here; not all Pre-Raphaelite art was dark, mediaeval, and deathly serious, like you are. But there were a lot of drowned maidens, and you'd like that.
Famous Pre-Raphaelites: Waterhouse, Millais, Rossetti, and You.

By the way, that's my favorite painting, ever. I once stood by it in the Louvre for about half an hour. The whole thing has a guy on a horse staring down at the woman in the creek. Moving, beautiful.
