Le character design challenge du mois d'avril est consacré à la revisite d'une peinture célèbre. Pour ma part, j'ai choisi le mouvement préraphaelite et plus particulièrement la "Mariana" de John Everett Millais, qui a un peu mal au dos dans sa peinture. Je lui offre donc un peu d'air frais!

"Hearts are Trumps," John Everett Millais, 1872.
Millais (1829-1896) was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite school, & one of its most praised & successful members, getting many society commissions & earning a knighthood.
Starting in the 1850s, though, he began moving away from strict Pre-Raphaelism to a more Realist style, which caused some of his old crowd to view him as a sellout. But today it's seen as a natural evolution of his style, & his own refusal to be corralled by a particular school. Some feel his marriage to Euphemia, the former wife of art critic John Ruskin, a champion of the Pre-Raphaelites, had something to do with it; Effie had received an annulment on the grounds that her marriage had never been consummated. Millais was said to be very uneasy around Ruskin after that.
The women here are the three daughters of writer and collector Walter Armstrong, who was hoping to bump up his family's social status. The pose of the three women at cards is seen as a hint of a competition to marry. Of note is that Mary, to the right and looking out at us knowingly (with the King and Jack of hearts in her hand) married an Irish politician a few years after this was painted.
Happy Portrait Monday!

A sketch by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, Cupid’s Hunting Ground, shows Cupid as an older boy or young man, blindfolded, about to choose a young woman.
Uness he decides to go for the artist instead 🙂

"Fair Rosamund," Arthur Hughes, 1854.
Hughes (1832-1915) wasn't a full-fledged member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but he might as well have been. His style was heavily influenced by them, and was a favorite with its members.
Here he depicts a legend from history. Rosamund was supposedly the mistress of Henry II of England, who built a secret garden for her, where he could visit. One day, the king's wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, found the secret garden and later had Rosamund poisoned.
Here we see Rosamund hiding behind a wall from the Queen, although Eleanor isn't fooled. The lovely flowers hold clues to the ending of the story...the Queen steps out on a path that's lined with foxglove, a highly poisonous plant. Rosamund stands among some purple irises, which were often planted on women's graves, as the goddess Iris was said by some to guide women's souls to the Elysian Fields.
Although why the queen had her poisoned is a puzzle to me...back then, it was a matter of course that royal marriages were arranged for political alliance, and not for love, and outside dalliances were the norm.
I do like the name "Rosamund." Too bad it's not used much anymore.

"Our English Coasts, 1852 (Strayed Sheep)," William Holman Hunt, 1852.
Hunt (1827-1910) was a Pre-Raphaelite, as you may guess from this image. He was a founder of the group and one of its most passionate adherents; he had a strong belief that it was the duty of the artist to reveal the correspondence between sign and fact.
Hunt labored on this painting for many months, getting the views and details just right, adding in the rich colors. surviving the wind and storms. Even the butterflies are highly realistic; he added them in his studio, using actual butterflies as models.
A nice spring image, eh?

"La Ghirlandata," Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1873.
Rossetti needs no introduction; he's the master of the Pre-Raphaelites, who I love.
"La Ghirlandata" translates to "the garlanded woman." The picture's lush visual elements also include references to other senses, mainly hearing (the harp) and smell (the roses).
Rossetti didn't try to depict any story or moral here; he was just going for sensual lushness, and he certainly succeeded. He later regarded this as his favorite work, saying it was the greenest painting ever done.
The model for the woman was Alexa Wilding, an aspiring actress who was one of Rossetti's favorite models. The two angels are based on May Morris, the daughter of famed designer William Morris.

Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale was referred to as the Last Pre-Raphaelite and enjoyed considerable success as an artist and illustrator.
She became a pupil of the Royal Academy schools in 1896 and went on to become a teacher at Byam Shaw art school in 1911.
This painting, titled Time the Physician, was one of her first oil paintings and was shown at the Royal Academy in 1900.
