Artist's Comment

This image is based on a poem by Keats. The poem tells how Isabella falls in love with Lorenzo, an employee of her brothers, who murder him to prevent their marriage. She exhumes his body and buries his head in a pot of basil, which she waters with her tears. The brothers discover and steal it, and she dies of a broken heart.

A sad poem. I used John Alexander's painting as a reference.
