For this #StudySaturday we have a sketch of ‘Ophelia’ by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. A popular subject with the Pre-Raphaelite artists, Rossetti depicts Ophelia weaving garlands of flowers prior to her suicide by drowning, after the cruelty she faced at the hands of Hamlet.

More Camelot Capers for this week's #TuesdayTale in line with the new exhibition 'The Legend of King Arthur: A Pre-Raphaelite Love Story' @WMGallery. Today it's James Archer's 'The Sangreal, King Arthur Healed of His Grievous Wound' (1863)

Bower of Bliss: 'Acrasia' by John Melhuish Strudwick (1888, private collection) for this week's #WednesdayWonder. The inspiration is Spenser's "The Faerie Queene", with the enchantress Acrasia depicted surrounded by handmaidens with a knight at her mercy....

Elaine of Astolat and her unrequited love for Launcelot, taken from Arthurian legend and reimagined by Tennyson, is today’s #MedievalMonday.

Painted by John Melhuish Strudwick, she stares fixedly at the shield of Launcelot she has carefully and reverently placed and swaddled.

Carry on Camelot: for this week's #ThursdayTheme we get Arthurian to coincide with the opening of 'The Legend of King Arthur: A Pre-Raphaelite Love Story' @WMGallery and a new book 'The Legend of King Arthur: Pilgrimage, Place & the Pre-Raphaelites' published by @SansomandCo
