Can there be as many Belle Dames as Ophelias in Victorian art? Perhaps not. But there are still a few to go! Today's offerings are by Herbert Cole (1906), Arthur Hughes (study, c.1863), Rossetti (1848) plus another version by Henry Meynell Rheam (c.1900).

Lily-Pad or Billowing Angel? This week's Ophelia is by W.G Simmonds (1910, an illustration from an edition of Shakespeare's Hamlet owned by the Huntington Library) for #TearsOnTuesday.

On the day of the 'lunar' day of the week:
Frank Dicksee's 'The Moon Maiden' (1923) for #MagicMonday. Accompanied by Wordsworth’s poem ‘Nutting':
‘Then, dearest Maiden, move along these shades.
In gentleness of heart; with gentle hand,
Touch - for there is a spirit in the woods.’

Longing & Loss: Four versions of 'Orpheus & Eurydice' (priv.coll, 1860s/ Aberdeen Art Gallery, 1869/ Harvard Mus. c.1880/ Salar Jung Mus. c.1890) for this week's #WattsOnWednesday. See superb commentaries on the latter by our friends @VictorianWeb: https://t.co/DmcAB5kCq8

Can we make our Ophelias last until Christmas for #TearsOnTuesday? It's a challenge. This week's lily white offering amid the lily pond (1890, private collection) is by Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1911).

Meticulous microcosms: the magnificent work of Scottish painter Jemima Wedderburn Blackburn (1823-1909) for this #SisterhoodSunday. 1 of the most popular & prolific illustrators & friend of Ruskin & Landseer; thanks to our friends @VictorianWeb for bringing her to our attention!

Watts's iconic 'Hope' (1886 @Tate) for this week's #WattsOnWednesday. Hope sits on a globe playing on a lyre which has all its strings broken except one.
Watts explained: ‘Hope need not mean expectancy. It suggests here rather the music which can come from the remaining chord.’
