A curly-haired Italian boy comforts his younger sister, “Don’t Cry” in this French painting from 1878.

The engraving was made by Paul Adolphe Rajon, himself a painter and printmaker, after the oil painting by Léon Bonnat.

A curly-haired boy with a toothy grin squats with one arm around a sad-faced young girl, against a dark background.

"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!

A Neoclassical scene. In a Victorian interior, with burnt orange walls and a sofa to the right, with pink/red/orange flowered upholstery, a woman stands and leans against a classically-inspired table to smell flowers that are growing in pots on the table. She is wearing white and light yellow clothes, echoing classical Greek garments, and her hair is done up in a classical Greek fashion. A tigerskin rug is beneath the table.

"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.

A Victorian genre scene. A well-dressed man sits in a chair, his legs out before him, a despondent expression on his face, a crumpled letter in his hand, evidently a "Dear John" letter. A small black dog looks up at him anxiously, as if eager to ease his pain.

A full-page border that surrounded a page in “The Art of Illuminating As Practised in Europe from the Earliest Times” by W R Tymms (London, UK, 1860). A fabulous book i bought at Geoffry Aspin’s bookshop in Hay-on-Wye in the 1980s.

I made versions in different colours; you can also use the Colour tab on the Web page to change colour. It’s one of the most popular images i’ve posted.

Victorian full-page double border in blue-green. Inner border of Celtic-style knotwork, outer with stylized leaves and vines and flowers, again all in green. Very Victorian. The middle, inside the border, is all blank, for your crayoning pleasure.

"A Knock at the Door," Laura Theresa Alma-Tadema, 1897.

I've featured Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema before, but not his wife Laura (1852-1909). Nearly half her husband's age, she nonetheless had a successful career as a painter and illustrator in her own right.

Her general style wasn't far from her husband's, and she specialized in sentimental scenes of childhood and domestic life, generally depicting the Netherlands in the 17th century, a result of being very influenced by painters of the Dutch Golden Age.

From the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, NH.

#Art #BritishArt #VictorianArt #LauraAlmaTadema #Sentimental

A woman, dressed in the style of the Netherlands in the 17th century, stands before a mirror seemingly checking her appearance. Her back is turned to us but we can see most of her face. She wears a white dress with blue edging, and her hair is pulled back. The wall is off-white, with a blue border by the floor, which is natural wood. There are candles on either side of the mirror, and beyond them, open windows.

Marley's Ghost, original illustration by John Leech from the 1843 edition of 'A Christmas Carol' - a novella by Charles Dickens.

'Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon .. anything he chose to put his hand to.'
