Endymion (1903), Industry & Greed (1900) & Sower of the Systems (1902). The first & last are powerful swirls of creativity. His Sower is an astonishing work for a Victorian artist.

He was made an original member of the OM in 1902. Hope (1886) & Ariadne (1894). Hope is seen by many critics as his greatest work. There is a plaintive beauty to the canvas.

In 1877 the Grosvenor Gallery was founded & they would exhibit Watts’ work for the next 10 years. The Genius of Greek Poetry (1878), Freshwater Farm Buildings (1875) & The Three Graces (1876) &

From the 1860s Watt was influenced by the PRB. He also pursued a more symbolic approach to his work. Sir Galahad (1860-2), Dame Alice Ellen Terry (c1864) & The Cedar Tree (1868-9)

His painting of the Great Hunger is unique, as far as I know, in being a depiction of the tragedy by a major artist. Irish Famine (1850), Aristides & the Shepherd (1848-52) & Portrait of Mrs Louis Huth (1858). The latter is in @TheHughLane

Watts submitted a drawing for the Houses of Parliament & won a prize in 1843 & a bursary. This allowed him to travel to Italy. Lady Holland (c1843-4), The Golden Age (1840) & Fiesole, Tuscany (1840s)

Lepage fought in the Franco-Prussian War (1870) & was wounded. He returned to his parents home & painted his grandfather which he would exhibit in the Salon & bring him recognition. It is a startling example of realism & empathy.

The openness & humanity of Leyster’s joyous Children with a Cat & Eel (1635) is contrasted with her Soldier’s Family (c1633) who sit tired & hopeful waiting for his return. Her Youth with a Jug (1629) is more of a fancy dress piece
