Happy Birthday Dante Gabriel Rossetti, born #OTD in 1828. Here a sampling of his sumptuous paintings through the decades:
'The Girlhood of Mary Virgin' 1849 @Tate
'The Tune of the Seven Towers' 1857 @Tate
'The Beloved' 1866 @Tate
'The Blessed Damozel' (1871-8) @LeverArtGallery
With some warm sunshine for some of us today and travel restrictions easing soon, the seaside is calling us! Herewith the lure of the mermaid's song from Waterhouse, Burne-Jones and Evelyn de Morgan for this week's #ThursdayTheme
Does any other painter capture the windswept look as gracefully as Waterhouse? Here are some beautiful examples for this week's #ThursdayTheme: 'Windflowers' (1902), 'Boreas' (& study) (1903) & a detail from 'Miranda' (The Tempest) (1916)
Something fishy 🐟🐠 for this week's #ThursdayTheme courtesy of William de Morgan @DeMorganF, Burne-Jones ('Lady Feeding Gold-Fish', 1860 @BMAG) and D.G.Rossetti's caricature of 'William Morris Fishing in a Punt' (1871, British Museum)
It started with a kiss....With Spring time in the air & mating rituals afoot, something a little different for this week's #MagicMonday with one of the superb illustrations by Richard Doyle- here one taken from 'In Fairyland' (1870). Doyle (1824-83) was uncle to Arthur Conan....
