There is a great topic for an art history book :) Especially if the models were not just pretty faces but had a life of their own in art. Were the PRB closer to their models and muses than artists in other eras and other countries?
Hard to compare Rossetti who loved anything in a skirt to say Burne-Jones who just worshipped them and apart from Zambaco was in love with being in love. Other artists often painted their mistresses / models.
