Medieval tragedy & intrigue for #WaterhouseWednesday. With the Rapunzel-like 'Fair Rosamund' (1916, priv.coll) we return to Rosamund Clifford, mistress of Henry II, kept in a tower surrounded by a maze, a tale which fascinated Chaucer, Tennyson, Swinburne, Rossetti & Burne-Jones.

Lady in Red for this week's #MillaisMonday
Portia (1886, @metmuseum)
From Shakespeare's 'Merchant of Venice' & incorrectly identified as Ellen Terry, it in fact shows fellow actress Kate Dolan. Millais's change to a broader style was heavily criticised but we love this work!❤️

'La Bella Mano' (1875 @delartmuseum) for this week's #GabrielGiovedi.
Following current guidelines this resplendent Rossettian damsel is indeed *washing her hands* but we cannot guarantee that the soap is antibacterial …...
