"Come buy from us with a golden curl”
by Hilda Hechle, an illustration for Christina
Rossetti’s 'Goblin Market'.
#FairyTaleTuesday
This #StudySaturday we are serenaded you with a sacred song in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s ‘A Christmas Carol’, 1867, and it’s preliminary sketches. The second is a more finished chalk drawing and the third an earlier pencil drawing focussed on the positioning of the female figure.
This weekends posts will be focused around hair, in solidarity with the women of Iran, and the incredibly brutal threats they face. Rest in peace Mahsa Amini.
For this #StudySaturday is Rossetti’s preparatory sketch for a painting, ‘Lady Lilith’.

1st week of Fantasy 1 (one of 2 core courses in our Fantasy MLitt @UofGFantasy) - done! It was lovely to meet the new cohort and to discuss balladry, fairy lore and Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” with them! (@EllenKushner, you were mentioned in all my sessions this week!)
Here are the side by side. Rossetti’s oil painting is at the Tate Britain and Chapu’s sculpture is at the Chateau of Chantilly in France.
My pieces are coloring pencil in A3 paper

Happy 2022! New year can be a time of music, mirth and dancing, so to begin a new Saturday theme, the #SoundofSaturday, is Rossetti’s ‘The Bower Meadow’ @mcrartgallery.
The women’s togetherness and dreamy hopefulness are my 2022 wishes. Which artwork will inspire your new year?

In March I did 4 x A3 drawings with different materials based on Rossetti’s Pre-Raphaelite drawings of the Jamaican born model in London, Fanny Eaton. This is no. 2

#MythologyMonday In ‘Goblin Market’, Christina Rossetti experiments with language, form and imagery to create a world of temptation and mystery.Dr Dinah Roe considers Rossetti’s influences and the ways in which the poem has been illustrated and interpreted https://t.co/HeSTxcsFTm
St George has just slain the dragon & won the hand of Princess Sabra. Jane Burden, who went on to marry William Morris, was Rossetti’s model. His intense attraction to Jane, while he was involved with Lizzie Sidall, is a powerful subtext here. #FolkloreThursday #ValentinesDay
Here’s my take on Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Day Dream painting. I’ll probably rework this at some point.
✨Based on Rossetti’s Lady Lilith✨ s/o to everyone who guessed correctly😛
Rereading “Sing-Song: A Nursery Rhyme Book” (1872) in honour of Christina Rossetti’s birthday, and enjoying its strange riddles, spells, and prophecies.
