We have just started an Instagram page, so please go and follow us! We are celebrating with a #SelfieSunday. Marie Spartali Stillman, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal and John Everett Millais, all obliged us with self-portraits, using their own filters, naturally.
Today’s #SoundofSaturday recital, is bought to you by the piano. A common feature in many Victorian family homes, here are examples of different ways the Pre-Raphaelites and their friends were inspired by the piano.
With creations by Burne-Jones, Holman Hunt and Whistler.
It's been a bit blowy! This week's #MagicMonday features images related to Boreas, The North Wind, anemones, the 'windflower' and Faeries lifting off at twilight: by Waterhouse (x2), Cicely Mary Barker and Arthur Rackham.
‘That out of the Oak Tree Shade
In the day of France's direst dule,
God's hand should send a Maid.’
Joan of Arc, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
For this #SisterhoodSunday our theme is Joan of Arc, with art by Swynnerton, Rossetti, Millais and Fortescue-Brickdale.

As the first buds of the year appear: 'Snowdrop' & 'Crocus' Flower Fairies by the wonderfully imaginative Cicely Mary Barker for this week's #MagicMonday. Although created in the 1920s the botanical detail & supernatural theme ring true to the themes of the PRB & followers.
For this #SoundofSaturday is the powerful but sinister siren call- the femme fatales of the aquatic world. Contributions from John William Waterhouse, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Evelyn De Morgan- whose mermaids evoke but question the siren figure- as a woman, critiquing the myth.
Last night was the Eve of St Agnes. Celebrating the Keats poem for #FridayFavourite with Elizabeth Siddal, Millais, Holman Hunt & Arthur Hughes. Watch the recording of Gender & Space in Pre-Raphaelite paintings of ‘The Eve of St Agnes’ by @serena_t here: https://t.co/FAtYC4D8Pp
A last celestial offering of St Cecilias for this week's #ThursdayTheme: by J.M.Cameron, Marie Spartali Stillman, Edward Reginald Frampton & Kate Bunce.
We highly recommend the wonderfully named blog on 'The Holy Busker' by The Kissed Mouth @boccabaciata https://t.co/gc5imaZkEp
Striking Strigiformes! Continuing on from Monday's owl theme, here are some stunning designs by William de Morgan for this week's #WilliamWednesday.
Jamaican born, Fanny Eaton (1835-1924) is the focus of this #SisterhoodSunday. An important Pre-Raphaelite muse and model, she has only recently begun to be recovered to her rightful place in Art History. Eaton regularly modelled for the Pre-Raphs and others at the Royal Academy.
