Two striking new paintings online, by Michael Frederick Halliday, "Algerian Women Playing Cards" and "The Pomegranate Sellers" (1864) https://t.co/mLq0idDMi3 and https://t.co/x27PmM3RtI (thanks Dennis T. Lanigan!). Halliday was a close associate of the #PreRaphaelites
"Moving the Contents of the @hunterian Museum in Glasgow," attrib. to Jemima Blackburn (1870), wth a tiger among the stuffed specimens, #Caturday. A marvellous array of skilfully depicted creatures (espec. the unconcerned horses!). Thanks @catjeangolden https://t.co/pVLM7MLacq
A taste of the sublime as we finish the day: John Martin's mezzotint, "The Courts of God" (1827). "The design was intended to express power and does so with a dream-like intensity" (Simon Cooke's new work on Martin is dazzling!) https://t.co/aimGr2i5W3
#DidYouKnow about the "Poetry without Grammar" school at the Dudley Gallery? New online, explains all...!

#goodnight! The fairy folk are already flat out, "Asleep in the Moonlight". True to (Victorian) form, Richard Doyle shows a broken or fallen headstone in the right-hand corner.... https://t.co/tlDR6SJESo
Something a bit different for #Caturday: "Study of a Lion" by Arthur Wardle (1864-1949), a pastellist with "a brilliant appreciation of the genius of pastel" https://t.co/VFbrEPH15L
#goodmorning! A very short piece on JW Waterhouse's "Fair Rosamund" and Millais's "Mariana" -- two figures at a window, one hopeful, the other....? https://t.co/3mEp8SefUP
Celebrating #IndiaIndependenceDay! #DidYouKnow that some places in Bengal celebrate #OTD because they were in disputed territory? Here are 2 of the delicate "Company Art" paintings shown in the "Forgotten Masters" exhibition of 2019/20 @DalrympleWill https://t.co/tdqn24eoXO
#goodnight with a tale from Edmund Dulac's Princess Sheherazade (not a spoken tale but... a beautiful white peacock's tail, at least!)
