@NoelleCanty If I had to pick a favourite painting by Waterhouse, it would be this one.

@NoelleCanty @Ronald__H Hi Noelle! 👋

[Peter Mitchell @petermitche11]

@NoelleCanty It's nice to be asked this. I have sketchbooks full of half ideas, but I find them quite difficult to turn into finished paintings. Recently they all seem to be figures engaged with nature in simple ways. Probably because I would like us to be, more than we are.

Happy May Day, today we stand with workers all around the world in solidarity, for International Workers' Day.

In 1889, the International congress of socialist parties met in Paris and decided to celebrate Labour Day or Worker's Day on 1st May. …

@preraphgarden @RISDMuseum Millais' brushwork was a bit softer than this I think and the face doesn't quite look like one of his, especially the mouth. The hair is very like The Bridesmaid and Sophie Gray though.

Deep on the convent-roof the snows
Are sparkling to the moon:
My breath to heaven like vapour goes;
May my soul follow soon!

Bit Blowy? J.W.Waterhouse provides atmosphere and anemones in 'WindFlowers' (1903, private collection) for this week's #MondayMood.

What an eye opening introduction to one of my favourite Pre Raphaelite artists Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale. Well done @PreRaphPodcast

This detail from The Forerunner is amazingly only about 10cm wide. Go and see it at @LeverArtGallery

Yesterday was the feast day of St Catherine of Alexandria. Inspired by Art UK’s post here is Rossetti’s rendering of the Saint, currently on show in ‘The Rossettis’ exhibition at @delartmuseum.

@WIRRALGLOBENEWS This church could work for another 200 years if it just had a little vision and investment. New Brighton should be being marketed as a quintessential victorian seaside town, yet it is obsessed with tearing down its own landmarks. @danieldaviesRPL @WirralCouncil @angelaeagle

@Jupitalia I will drink a drink a Coke, or a Pepsi, which you like even less.

This pencil drawing is my favourite piece in the exhibition, helpfully hung low on the wall so small children can see how exquisite it is.

Today marks the anniversary of Flower Fairies creator Cicely Mary Barker's birth.

Born on this day in 1895, her work has enchanted and inspired generations.

As well as in our gallery, you can find the Flower Fairies on Gucci bags and even tattooed on musician @billieeilish!

Just found someone's art library in the book charity bin in Lidl. This is just some of it.😲

@PreRaphSoc I Love Florence Harrison's evocative work, yet another female artist we know hardly anything about.
