John Anster Fitzgerald (1819–1906). (a) The Artist's Dream (b) Dreams (c) The Captive Robin (d) The Fairies Banquet. For decades art forgers have been active in creating fake Fitzgerald fairy pictures. So - caveat emptor (and check the age of the pigment). #FairyFitzgerald

The Abbey in the Oakwood (1809-10) by Caspar David Friedrich (German, 1774-1840). Leaning tombstones, sombre processions, lifeless trees, ruined structures in the mist, feelings over thinking. It must be Romanticism. #GothicArt

Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May (1909) by John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). Given the theme (carpe diem) it's perhaps ironic that the owners of a farmhouse left this painting on the wall for 30 yrs unaware of it's life changing worth. #PRB #EnglishArt
