Getting posters and prints of art for your home is a simple and meaningful way to improve how your space feels and looks. Art is more than just decoration—it helps make your home feel warm, personal, and complete. Choosing artwork that matches your style and interests can make your home truly reflect who you are. Art can also lift your mood, making your space more enjoyable and relaxing.
Here’s why adding art to your home is a great idea:
– It adds personality and warmth, turning a house into a home.
– It expresses your unique style and taste.
– It reduces stress and increases happiness.
– It makes any room more colorful and inviting.
With the right artwork, you can create a space that’s not only beautiful but also feels like a true reflection of yourself.
In his poem, ‘Mary’s Girlhood,’ Rossetti shows the Virgin Mary during childhood. ‘This is that blessed Mary, pre-elect, God’s Virgin.’ He then goes on to enumerate her many wonderful traits. Besides her ‘supreme patience’ and ‘simplicity of intellect,’ Rossetti paints her as ‘faithful and hopeful; wise in charity; strong in grave peace; in pity circumspect.’ All of these traits, however, have a somewhat jarring connotation., The Girlhood of Mary Virgin. In both, she appears as a somber, mature individual. Furthermore, even as in the poem she emerges as ‘an angel-watered lily, that near God grows and is quiet,’ in the painting she appears a beautiful young woman, yet dressed simply and, though attending a lesson, staring at an angel playing by some lilies.
