Sublime Sorcery! There is magic afoot in 'The Laboratory' by John Collier (1895, with the Witch strongly resembling Helena Bonham Carter?!) and 'The Wizard' by Edward Burne-Jones (1896-8 @BMAGimages) for this week's #TuesdayTale....
And just who is brewing it?
Snowdrops, daffodils and hyacinths are in bloom in the south of England at the moment and we are looking forward to Spring with Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale’s ‘In the Springtime’, 1901, watercolour #SisterhoodSunday. We can’t wait till these beautiful bluebells make an appearance.
Victorian polymath & colossus John Ruskin was born #OTD in 1819. Ruskin was a superb draughtsman with an intense eye on the natural world. We highly recommend 'An Instinct to Draw' by Prof Stephen Wildman celebrating Ruskin's drawings at the @AshmoleanMuseum for #WednesdayWonder
And a bonus Frank Cadogen Cowper for today’s @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange celebrating nature for #WorldsWetlandsDay.
‘The Damsel of the Lake Called Nimue the Enchantress’, 1924.

For #SisterhoodSunday we are celebrating Fanny Cornforth with a new episode of the @PreRaphPodcast, released today. Myself and Alex (@HannahRSquire and @alexxr97_) interview @boccabaciata about her.
Cornforth depicted here in a variety of guises by Rossetti.
Happy New Year from all of us at the Pre-Raphaelite Society!
‘New Year’s Night’, 1911, Julius Johann Ferdinand Kronberg.
I can’t find any information about the figure, but she might be St Lucia - who is sometimes depicted with a sword. 1/2
More music to serenade in New Year’s Eve. John Melhuish Strudwick, ‘The Golden Days’, 1907.
