emma_in_dreamThe books I ordered for my birthday have arrived....
They are all about lesser known PreRaphaelites.
Evelyn Pickering De Morgan who was an oil painter on a magnificent scale. She was greatly influenced by the PRB and, later in her life, spiritualism and the anti-war movement.
She was married to William De Morgan, a tile painter associated with William Morris' craft movement. They lived together, making art.
And I also got a book about Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale, an artist I had never previously seen represented in a book. She has been scandalously ignored, considering how many books recycle and recycle the same images from Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Holman Hunt, Edward Burne Jones, and the rest.
