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

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.

This #StudySaturday we are serenaded you with a sacred song in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s ‘A Christmas Carol’, 1867, and it’s preliminary sketches. The second is a more finished chalk drawing and the third an earlier pencil drawing focussed on the positioning of the female figure.

Edward Burne-Jones: "The more materialistic science becomes, the more angels shall I paint. Their wings are my protest in favour of the immortality of the soul."
Paint them he did! (& design them for tapestry & stained glass). More Angelic Adventures next week for #ThursdayTheme

Frost, Fate & Fairy Tales: illustrations by Honor C.Appleton, Harry Clarke & Edmund Dulac for Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen' (1844) for this week's #TuesdayTale. Snedronningen, Queen of Snowflakes travels throughout the world with the snow in the lands of permafrost❄️

Impressive Tresses to keep you warm this winter: luscious locks for this week's #ThursdayTheme- Courbet's 'La Belle Irlandaise' (1865 Stockholm vers.), Rossetti's 'Lady Lilith' (1866-73 @delartmuseum), Millais' 'The Bridesmaid' (1851 Fitzwill Mus) & Sandys' 'Love's Shadow' (1867)

So big is this sketch by Edward Burne-Jones, nearly 5 feet high, it’s divided here into two images, #StudySaturday. It is a watercolour design for a stained glass window panel in @bhamcathedral, in his hometown.

‘The Nativity’,watercolour, heightened with gold, @TheHuntington.

Leaves of Gold: James Tissot (1836-1902) captured the season beautifully in these evocative & elegiac works which hint at narratives and are rich in mood #TuesdayTale
