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.

For #StudySaturday is Elizabeth Siddal’s ‘Clerk Saunders’. The watercolour was finished in 1857 and the study was produced in 1854. A woodblock illustration it was part of a commission to illustrate a collection of ballads William Allingham was editing for Routledge.

Lyrical Ladies: our penultimate #WilliamWednesday featuring work of Nazarene painter Wilhelm von Schadow (1789-1862). Aiming to revive spirituality in art, 'Nazarene' came as a term of derision used against them for their affectation of a biblical manner of clothing & hair style.

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

This week's @DeMorganF online lecture features Dr Serena Trowbridge @serena_t, Chair of the PRS, discussing the poetry of Evelyn de Morgan and her recently published, superb new book!
Join in for Gothic, melodrama & mythology!

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.
