Given the current blockbuster, we thought we might remind folk of two of the key characters in the Troy story. Enjoy! Evelyn De Morgan, 'Helen of Troy' and 'Cassandra' (1898)

Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'sisterhood' for Women of Influence: The Pattle Sisters at Watts Gallery 💞🖼️ We've selected Daughters of the Mist by Evelyn De Morgan from @demorganfoundation.bsky.social See more work by William & Evelyn De Morgan at Cannon Hall Museum

Four ethereal, robed women with flowing hair linger among misty clouds. Above them, a star glows in a pastel landscape. Inspired by Evelyn De Morgan, this dreamy scene evokes the mystical Daughters of the Mist from the De Morgan Collection.

#TilesOnTuesday Reading about the accelerating decline in wild bird species in the UK made us think of this fellow. Multi-Lustre Dodo Tile by William De Morgan (1898) The dodo is an extinct flightless bird from Mauritius and was popularised by Lewis Carol who featured it in 'Alice in Wonderland'.
