“O roses, June roses! From yonder beds of bloom
Is wafted toward me your subtle faint perfume,”

‘June Roses’, Alice Williams Brotherton.

To celebrate the start of June and the blooming of roses, for this #StudySaturday are two oil sketches by John William Waterhouse.

Works by versatile, prolific William Blake Richmond (1842-1921) for #WilliamWednesday: Venus & Anchises (1890 Walker Art Gall), William Morris (1880s NPG), Charity (1910, Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Sq) plus a sumptuous example of aesthetic dress with Mrs Luke Ionides (1879, V&A)

This week's #TuesdayTale is the tragic one of Joan of Arc, burned at the stake on 30th May 1431, aged just nineteen. Painted here by Millais (1865), Rossetti (1882), John Duncan and Albert Lynch (1903). This was the last painting Rossetti worked on- he died just a few days later.

To celebrate reaching 2,000 followers on Instagram- we only started the society’s page three months ago- we wanted to reintroduce the two of us, @krobins77 and @HannahRSquire, that look after the society’s social media and share our favourite artworks. (Continues in comments.)
