Georgiana Burne-Jones

At her home in Fulham with her son Philip, daughter Margaret and Jane Morris and her daughters, Jenny and May

http://www.morrissociety.org/JWMS/AU96.12.1.Williams.pdf

nb. pdf file

She was only 15 when she became engaged to Burne-Jones in 1856. She was known in her circle as Georgie and wrote a two-volume biography of her husband. Small in statue but very strong minded she was the daughter of a Methodist Minister in Birmingham. She was a very good musician and had studied illustration with the intention of becoming a wood engraver. She was good friends and a staunch supporter of both Algernon Swinburne and Simeon Solomon at a time when both were outcasts to Society, but her real friend (perhaps soulmate is a better term) was William Morris. She helped found the South London Art Gallery.

Seems odd to us now, but a common practice at the time.

Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale - Natural Magic

Simeon Solomon - Dawn

John Melhuish Strudwick - The Gentle Music of a Bygone Day

1890

Strudwick worked as a studio assistant to both Burne-Jones and Spencer Stanhope and was influenced by both. He is noted for his use of space and amazing attention to detail. But note the feet of te woman on the right which are just - wrong!

May Morris

John William Waterhouse - Ophelia

c. 1894

Inspired by Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

John William Waterhouse - Miranda (detail)

http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/view.cfm?recordid=45

One of Waterhouse's last pictures, completed the year before he died. The inspiration was from Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Cheyney Walk, London

c. 1863

Algernon Swinburne, Dante Rossetti, Fanny Cornforth and William Michael Rossetti

John William Waterhouse - St Eulalia

1885

Tate Gallery

Notice the very clever and unusual composition, placing the corpse of the 12 year old saint straight in yiour face so to speak. The dove represented her soul winging its way to heaven.

http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=15983

Evelyn de Morgan - Hero holding the beacon for Leander

1885

Showing quite clearly here her debt to Burne-Jones who she greatly admired. Like him she worked chiefly in gouache.

William Holman Hunt

photo by David Wilkie Wynfield, 1863

It was deliberately meant to be 'in the style of the Old Masters' and Hunt here dresssed as Holbein

Charles Edward Hallé - Luna

c. 1870 - 80's

Halle was ill in his youth and spent a lot of time travelling, especially in Italy and Venice. But by the 1860's he had returned and was working as a portrait painter - and met Burne-Jones and Rossetti - though he is often classed as a member of the Aesthetic movement which followed and was influenced by the PRB.

Halle helped set up the Grosvenor Gallery with Sir Coutts Lindsay which became the centre for the Aesthetic artists and was much frequented by Oscar Wilde.

Charles Edward Hallé - Paolo and Francesca

1888

Another of his works which links the PRB and Aesthetic movements. The theme is from Dante and Rossetti was also keen on this subject.

Jenny and May Morris

photographed by Frederick Hollyer in 1874

notice the simple, loose clothing, very unfashionable at the time but popular in Pre-Raphaelite circles, based on Medieval and Renaissance styles.

G F Watts - The Angel of Death

c. 1870's

A very powerful painting, almost an essay on the states of decay.

Valentine Cameron Prinsep

[Study of a Girl Reading] c. 1860 - 1870's

G F Watts lodged with Prinsep's parents and encouraged him to become a painter, and he met Rossetti at the age of 19 in 1857. In his early paintings he was clearly influenced by Rossetti but this picture shows him developing his own style.

Simeon Solomon - Bacchus

1867

Birmingham Art Galleries

The colours were inspired by his travels in Italy. Two versions were painted and this version on oil was much admired by Burne-Jones.

Frederick Sandys - Love's Shadow

1867

Modelled by a London actress - Miss Clive (Mary Emma Jones) who was also his lover and mother of his ten children! She was renowned as one of the greatest beauties of her time. It was begun whilst a poor Sandys was living with Rossetti in Cheyne Walk (London). Unfortunately Rossetti accused Sandys of plagiarism.
