A lovely bit of fancy woven around some of our more dramatic garden flowers: "Then lilies, turned to tiger blaze,/ amid the garden's tangled maze"— a coloured pc with a design by Walter Crane (1845-1915) https://t.co/SEzhwH1l9k
#goodnight! Some sheep to count: "A Sussex Lane," by John Samuel Raven, 1872. Raven was a mainly self-taught landscape painter, and good at capturing atmosphere and mood https://t.co/s6Z8GDD5G4
Interesting reattribution: the collector who owned this painted panel, attributed to Robert Anning Bell, has found proof that it's by Gertrude Alice Meredith Williams (1877-1934), & entitled "Little St Bride of the Mantle" — lovely, anyway! #womensart https://t.co/hcBTg1X0RJ
#goodmorning! "Seaside (July: specimen of a portrait)"—by James #Tissot, with allegorical intent. The woman is beautifully bedecked in ribbons and flounces, with a swimming pool at the back. On holiday, languid (a bit bored? too hot?!) https://t.co/PQxO7jDjlq @HammockAuthor
It's a lovely surprise to find this #BurneJones window in St Cybi's, Holyhead: St Dorothy, St Theresa & St Agnes. The details are beautiful. Thanks Dr. J. Ken Roberts. https://t.co/9bj0UXfZ7m #stainedglass
New online, Richard Gibson's illuminating review of David Yeadle's bio. (open source, too!). Useful, when you think of all the curates in Victorian novels (e.g. Trollope's), & the fact that we don't usually see religious issues from this end of the scale https://t.co/OOBTBjISYr
#goodmorning! If you fancied an outing in the early 19c., you might have gone to the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, to see Bullock's Museum, and take in "the great volume of creation, the work of an all-wise Providence" (a bit of a jumble, though!) https://t.co/Xph8SW1E80
Really pleased that we have some new material on #BurneJones's Briar Rose series from Dennis Lanigan, e.g., https://t.co/tGf0JWa45Z — which is just right for this time of day!! #Goodnight!
"Glen Orchy, Storm coming on" by Henry Moore, a late work dated the year he died (1895). But the sun's still getting though, on the distant hill! https://t.co/obeB7n6EGU
