Feline figures in Pre-Raphaelite paintings for this week's #ThursdayTheme courtesy of William Holman Hunt (arguably 2 here: moggy on the carpet plus tigerish seducer?), Rosa Brett, Evelyn de Morgan and Susan Herbert's publication 'Pre-Raphaelite Cats' from 2014 🐱🐈
It's that riddle time of week again....
Can anyone identify the artist & title of this peaceful picture for this week's #TuesdayTeaser?
A slightly easier #TuesdayTeaser this week.
The artist maybe easily recognisable but do you know the title of the painting?🤔
Happy New Year from the PRS! As many of us say a thorough good riddance to the nightmare that was 2020, here are some images of Hope to hopefully guide us into 2021 from Burne-Jones (1896), Evelyn de Morgan (1887), G.F.Watts (1886) & Millais (The Blind Girl 1856 + double rainbow)
Evelyn De Morgan's absolutely stunning study of a female head for the figure of Winter from 'The Cadence of Autumn' and the painting itself (1905, Wightwick Manor, @DeMorganF) for this week's rather belated #SisterhoodSunday
It's all about France Graham for this week's #NedNewsday. Here a stunning portrait (sold at Christies, 1995) & an casket with angels & initials (1877) which Burne-Jones designed for her. Andrew Gailey's new book 'Portrait of a Muse' will be reviewed in the PRS journal next year.
Potions & Notions: 'The Sorceress' (c1911, Peter Nahum Leicester Gall) for #WaterhouseWednesday. The artist's 3rd depiction, after Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses (1891) & Circe Invidiosa (1892). Her name is on the back of the canvas. Leopards watch on as she plots her spell...
'Destiny' (1900, Burnley, Towneley Hall Art Gallery) for this week's #WaterhouseWednesday. Our muse drinks a libation to departing heroes with a sympathetic gaze towards the ships already under sail. Thanks to Anthony Hobson's seminal 1989 monograph on the artist for this info.
The magical & intensely detailed book illustrations of Eleanor Vere Boyle (1825-1916) for this week's #SisterhoodSunday. Born Eleanor Gordon with a family seat at Ellon Castle, Aberdeenshire, Boyle's watercolours reveal a reverence for nature as well as a fantastical imagination.
An early work with personal family meaning for this #WaterhouseWednesday: 'Sleep & His Half-Brother Death' (1874, pc) may have been inspired by Simeon Solomon's 'The Sleeper & the One that Watcheth' (1870, Leamington Spa Art Gall.), feature artist of the PRS Autumn special issue.
