Pitcher Perfect: some jaunty jug designs by ceramicist William de Morgan plus portrait by his artist wife Evelyn de Morgan for this week's #WilliamWednesday.
For today's #SoundofSaturday is Simeon Solomon's 'A Prelude by Bach'. As a proponent of the Aesthetic movement, Walter Pater, said, 'All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.' Solomon focuses on the harmony and abstract beauty of the composition, not on meaning.
Scottish Symbolist John Duncan's (1866-1945) icy palette of colours (frequently painted in tempera) often evokes a crisp, chilly day by the coast: today's #FridayFavourite is 'The Turn of The Tide' (c.1919, The Fleming Collection, London)

We're leaving #TearsOnTuesday behind in 2022 & replacing it with #TalesOnTuesday. Not necessarily any cheerier though!- indeed today's tale features tragic lovers- Paolo & Francesca from Dante's Inferno Canto V- depicted by Rossetti (x 2),Feuerbach & Noel Paton. More next week!
Sibyls & Oracles as we look to a new year ahead and for the first #MagicMonday of 2022. With contributions from Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Waterhouse. Plus some rather Pre-Raphaelite Tarot cards available to purchase online!
Happy 2022! New year can be a time of music, mirth and dancing, so to begin a new Saturday theme, the #SoundofSaturday, is Rossetti’s ‘The Bower Meadow’ @mcrartgallery.
The women’s togetherness and dreamy hopefulness are my 2022 wishes. Which artwork will inspire your new year?
As we nudge into 2022, this week's #ThursdayTheme features images of Hope. Hope that it will be a good year, a better year, and that we can get through it.... Contributions from Burne-Jones, Evelyn de Morgan, G.F.Watts & Sidney Harold Meteyard.
The final #TearsOnTuesday for 2021. Can we manage 4 Ophelias together? I think so! Contributions are by John Wood (1801-1870) James Sant (1820-1916), Joseph Kronheim (1810-1896) & Dorothy Primrose as 'Ophelia' by Stephen Makepeace ('Siegfried') Wiens (1937, Worthing Art Gall.)
Snowflakes & Sorcery: Dulac & Errol le Cain's illustrations from Andersen's 'The Snow Queen', the Ice-Maiden from 'The Dreamer of Dreams' by Queen Marie of Romania, granddaughter of Queen Victoria plus a contemporary Christmas card taking it's cue for this week's #MagicMonday.
