LONDON (AP) - British artist Sarah Raphael, whose work hangs in
the Metropolitan Museum in New York and London's National Portrait
Gallery, died Jan. 10 from pneumonia. She was 40.
The daughter of Oscar-winning screen writer Frederic Raphael,
Sarah Raphael decided she wanted to become an artist at age 7.
Initially best known for her portraits, she also painted
landscapes, allegorical scenes and bright mosaics of color.
In 1996, Raphael - whose striking looks made her a familiar face
in British celebrity magazines - won the NatWest Prize for Art for
a series of paintings depicting Australian scenes.
Plagued by migraines since she was a teen-ager, Raphael was
eventually forced to give up oil paints and turpentine in favor of
acrylics.

I don't suppose she was a "pre-Raphaelite beauty"?
