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..

For this #SisterhoodSunday we look to America and Elizabeth Nourse (1859–1938). In ‘Happy Days’ a working class mother is repairing her child’s clothing.

Nouse was the first American woman to be voted into the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in France.

'The Afterglow in Egypt' (1854-63 Southampton Art Gall & Ashmolean) by Holman Hunt for #WilliamWednesday.
Hunt travelled to Egypt in 1854; the local girl wears traditional dress, jewellery & carries water & wheat perhaps as a symbol of fertility, echoed in abundant fields beyond

Today’s #SisterhoodSunday is dedicated to women’s football, in honour of the Women’s Euros 2022 final later today. (Come on @Lionesses.)

Women’s football was very popular during the First World War, drawing crowds of 53,000 even after the war had ended.

This week's #TuesdayTale is Perseus & the Graiae which Burne-Jones often returned in the late 1870s. The Graiae, sisters of the Gorgons, live in darkness near the end of the earth & have only 1 eye & 1 tooth that they share; Perseus visits them on his quest to defeat the Medusa.
