Rossetti was an early influence on Byam Shaw (as he is always known). He was an
extremely diverse and talented artist, muralist, stained glass designer, illustrator and tapestry designer. His most famous picture is probably The Boer War (1901;
Birmingham) although other masterpieces include Love the Conqueror (1899; private
collection) and The Queen of Hearts (1896; Pre-Raphaelite Inc.) Byam Shaw set up his
own art school with his friend Rex Vicat Cole that is still in existence in London today.
