Goblins! 2 sisters, some sinister, anthropomorphic creatures with ambiguous intent & a smorgasbord of fruit! This week's #TuesdayTale is Chrisina Rossetti's haunting poem 'Goblin Market', the theme of the online PRS lecture this Sat 24th September with @EsterDiazMo. Do join us!

Wow! 15,000 followers on Instagram. I feel a bit like a sorceress, who has some how bewitched so many people to join. Thank you, so glad to have a great community of Pre-Raphaelite fans.

John William Waterhouse, ‘The Sorceress’, c.1911.

1/2

Virgins & Visitations: this week's #ThursdayTheme is The Annunciation, mystically treated by Arthur Hacker (1892 @Tate & on show at 'Modern Pre-Raphaelites Visionaries' exhibition, Leamington Spa), Elizabeth Sonrel (c.1900), Waterhouse (1914) & Burne-Jones (1879 @LeverArtGallery)

For #StudySaturday is Queer and Jewish icon Simeon Solomon’s sketch ‘Night and Her Child Sleep’. A theme Solomon returned to in his drawings, the androgynous beauty, closeness of the figures and the robe that embraces them, forms an artwork full of maternal love and devotion.

Happy Birthday Evelyn de Morgan, born #OTD in 1855! One of the most impressive artists of a generation, her richly coloured work features beautifully draped figures, delivers messages of feminism, spirituality, rejection of war & material wealth, all relevant today! @DeMorganF

Happy Birthday EBJ! Born in 1833, Birmingham, he became friends with William Morris at Oxford and was persuaded by Rossetti to become an artist and spurn his liturgical career.

Entitled ‘The Golden Stairs’ this was described as ‘beyond all question the painter’s masterpiece’.

Lilies & a Lute: continuing our mini-series on Nazarene painter Wilhelm von Schadow for #WilliamWednesday. This week- a celestial calling with 'Mignon' (1828). We also recommend 'The Nazarenes: Romantic Avant-Garde & the Art of the Concept' by Cordula Grewe (2015) to learn more.

Horsing Around: this week's #TuesdayTale features Millais's 'A Dream of the Past: Sir Isumbras at the Ford' (1857, @LeverArtGallery ) with it's controversially long equine! Its title is from a medieval poem & it was satirised in a print by Frederic Sandys, entitled "A Nightmare".

Festooned by the Fey! John Gilbert's mystical 'The Enchanted Forest' (1886, @GuildhallArt) for this week's #MagicMonday. Enchanted indeed!

Beautiful Beatrice: William Dyce's pensive painting (1859 Aberdeen Gall.) of Dante's great unrequited Love. Commissioned by Dyce's friend, PM William Gladstone, a great Dante enthusiast. The model was Marian Summerhayes, artist’s model & former prostitute “rescued” by Gladstone..
