Taken in July 1865, our #PortraitOfTheDay captures a moment of garden bliss and depicts Jane Morris, an Arts and Crafts artist and a Pre-Raphaelite muse.
You can see this portrait and more in the new #NationalPortraitGallery.

Three years ago, in the night of 14 March 2020, while Oxford was preparing for the Covid lockdown, three paintings were stolen in a brutal, premeditated burglary from us:
Anthony van Dyck, Horse and Rider; Annibale Carracci, Boy Drinking; Salvator Rosa, Five Men in a Landscape.

I was fooled into thinking Spring was here already! Finding solace in these colourful, nature inspired tiles designed by William De Morgan.

“I’m a remarkable woman..always was, though none of you seemed to think so.”May Morris, English artist embroiderer, designer, feminist and socialist, dismayed by the lack of support for women artists. She founded the Women’s Guild of Arts, 1907 #WomensArt
I love @LeftLion magazine - great article about St Ann’s allotments this month! However sometimes I find the articles too difficult to read when the text is inverted (white on dark background) :(
