Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
April Love, 1855-56 by Arthur Hughes.
Hughes accompanied this painting with a poem by Tennyson called The Miller's Daughter. I love the vibrant purple of the dress, it just pops out of the painting.
Mariana by John Everett Millais, Private Collection.
Mariana is the main character in a poem by Tennyson that deals with a woman "trapped" in her life. She is surrounded in a perfect Victorian setting by the dictates of the Arts & Crafts movement. The movement was a reaction to the increased industrialization of the world and sought to emulate a time when everything was created by hand.
Lady of Shalott, c. 1872 - 3 by Arthur Hughes.
A favorite subject of Victorian painters and based on a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, there are many versions of the Lady.
