The storm’s fury whips Portia’s gown into sharp, jagged folds, while the second figure clutches her skirts in stillness. Their contrasting postures suggest a moment suspended between chaos and control—is the tempest outside, or within?
What does the tension in their hands reveal about the story’s unseen weight?

"Fresh from the Greenhouse," Jessica Hayllar, 1885.
Hayllar (1858-1940) was the daughter of British painter James Hayllar, who educated Jessica and her sisters Edith, Mary, and Kate in art. All of them became artists but Jessica was the busiest.
Hayllar was detail-oriented and realistic in her work, similar to her father, but she is less stiffly academic and less sentimental than him; in fact, her father's work is not well-regarded these days, and her work is viewed as superior.
She often did scenes of everyday life, often featuring multiple open doors in an unusual use of space for the time. She also did a few paintings of her sisters at work; in fact, they're often credited with shifting ideas of art as a woman's hobby and instead a woman's profession.
A carriage accident left her wheelchair bound after 1900, but she continued to work, and she led a full and productive life.
Happy Flower Friday!

I fell in love with these huge (A3-size) books in Prague. I’ve seen the cover design described as pretentious (like me) but the full-page engravings are really fabulous.
The book only just fits on the scanner i use, with a few mm (eighth of an inch) to spare.

They were so poor they had no turnspit (clockwork meat spit)! it was a major part of the industrial revolution.
The Dalziel studio also engraved the Alice in Wonderland pics

"Woman and Flowers," Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1866.
I've featured Alma-Tadema before, so I won't bother much with biography.
He was a huge fan of Classical Greek art and stylings, and included them a lot in his artwork, even when depicting contemporary scenes.
Here we have an obviously Victorian scene, with a sofa and all that but the table, and the woman's hair and clothing, all echo Classical Greece. It's quite a mingling of themes that works quite well. Also a rather sensual painting, in showing her obvious joy in smelling the flowers.
Happy Flower Friday!

"Jilted," Briton Rivière, 1887.
Rivière (1840-1920) was a British painter and illustrator known mostly for his paintings of animals. He started doing academic historical paintings, but later moved on to specialize in animals, as he simply enjoyed doing it more.
In an interview with a children's magazine, he spoke of how he spent enormous amounts of time at the London zoo, sketching the animals, and also working in dissection rooms to study their anatomy and musculature. Early in his career, he also worked as an illustrator for the humor magazine Punch.
From the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
