Watercolour portrait by Daniel Maclise, 1846.
To mark this #GoodFriday we're dipping into the collection with a rarely-seen work by Daniel Maclise (1806-1870).
Purchased through the #GibsonBequest in 1954, this oil-on-board Crucifixion scene shows Jesus as he is laid on the cross at Calvary, outside the walls of Jerusalem.
Maclise was a master of Victorian charm, indeed he was a friend of Prince Albert. The Student (1862), A Bower with Passion Flowers (1865), A Winter Night’s Tale (c1867) & Madeleine after Prayer (1868)
Where Maclise differs from his contemporaries is his bright colours, his focus on narrative & an interest in Celtic & Gaelic legends. Waterfall at St Nighton’s Kieve, near Tintagel (1842), A Scene from Undine (1843) & Rosalind & Cecilia (1845)
Dramatic faces on dissected bodies!
I’ve been focusing on the WWII face for some time now, so I thought it’d be fun to write about some 19th cen imagery.
New short blog post on the faces in Joseph Maclise’s Surgical Anatomy!

"The origin of the harp", by Robert Graves after David Maclise, 1862.
I just posted these on the Morbid Art History Instagram, but needed to share Joseph Maclise with Twitter as well 🤩
Rosalind and Celia, Daniel Maclise
Celia is one of the important characters of Shakespeare's 'As You Like It'. Celia and Rosalind are cousins but they have sisterly affection.
