The Christmas Fair Saturday 2nd December 10.00 am. All welcome. The fair coincides with the opening of our Christmas Tree Festival which continues throughout Advent and Christmas. Any contributions to this will be very happily accepted. Christmas trees should not be taller than 5ft, be decorated with a significant theme and be lit with non-flashing lights. Please ring Mike if you wish to contribute 07342 046 193.

In This edition: We are fortunate to have an artist-in-residence, Angela Chalmers, who resides in Mary Craven’s house on The Esplanade (although in the servant’ quarters, I suspect). Angela has added to the work she has displayed in the church this year and introduces herself in the first article. We continue to explore individual windows with The Three Mary’s Window, perhaps one of the most interesting one we have as it depicts three of the famous Pre-Raphaelite Stunners, Annie Miller, Georgiana MacDonald and Lizzie Siddal. Mike Baines has recently read Julian Trueher’s biography entitled “Ford Madox Brown Pre- Raphaelite Pioneer”, and provides us with some interesting information about Brown’s life from this work. To complement this article there is a description and commentary on one of Brown’s most famous works “The Last of England”. Extending the theme of Ford Maddox Brown there is an article on the Life of St. Martin which related to Brown’s St. Martin Window which was the subject of What’s In A Window No 2 in the second Newsletter. You can download it at: http://www.friendsofstmartins.co.uk/Documents/Newsletter2Final.pdf The exploration of the life of St. Martin continues with a detailed look at the series of 10 frescoes painted by Simone Martini in the St. Martin Chapel in San Francesco, Assisi. We also continue our series of articles on George Frederick Bodley, this time looking at how he met the Pre-Raphaelites and one of his earliest cooperative works with them – The Church of St. Michael and All Angels in Brighton. Finally, a short article about The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood first published in Look and Learn Magazine 1n 1973! It is a brief and informative overview of the aims and principles of the movement, something I am frequently asked about when doing guided tours. There is interesting content about how they arrive at the PRB name. Contents: Artist-in Residence by Angela Chalmers page 3 What’s In A Window?

Meeting and Working with the Pre-Raphaelites page 57 The Pre-Raphaelites wanted truth and naturalism in their Art page 65 2 Artist-in-Residence Dear readers My name is Angela Chalmers and I am delighted to announce my role as artist-in-residence at St Martin-on-the-Hill. In the past, I have produced ‘There’s Something About Mary’ and ‘Floral Poetry’ and more recently two large works on paper called ‘Adam & Eve’, which were displayed during the Heritage Open Days in September. I have been a professional artist for over 12 years and have worked in London and Sweden on various art projects. I am very excited to work with the church to help build on its community and assist the friends of St Martin’s on the committee. So what does artist-in-residence actually mean? In short, an artist is invited to spend some time in a different environment from their usual place of work. It is quite often a time for the artist to expand their art practice and reach new audiences, to explore new ideas, to research, be influenced, to inspire and to create new work incorporating all of these things. The story so far. Ever since I discovered St Martin’s church on my doorstep, I have become fascinated with the Victorian history of the building and the art of the Pre-Raphaelites housed inside. My main inspiration was the discovery that my home was the former home of benefactor Miss Mary Craven. Her generosity allowed the church to be built during the 1860s. 3 After a short period of research into the life of Mary, I created ‘There’s Something About Mary’ for Coastival Festival, 2015. The dress contemplates Mary’s character, and aims to raise awareness of earlier times relating to the church. More details about this piece can be found in the Friends newsletter 4, March 2015. In 2016, I produced ‘Floral Poetry’. This again was inspired by the story of Mary Craven ‘purloining flowers’ from the South Cliff gardens. My intention was to create a garden for Mary to celebrate her love of flowers. In May 2017, I was invited to exhibit the dress in a gallery near Gothenburg, Sweden. It was an exciting opportunity for me to travel over there. I ran two workshops and visited the studios of many Swedish artists. The postcards I produced mention St Martin’s and were sold during the exhibition. 4 The remaining postcards are currently on sale alongside the others in the church. All proceeds go to the church fund. During the Heritage Open Days I displayed ‘Adam & Eve’ on the back wall under the windows of the same name by Ford Madox Brown. I am planning to do more work inspired by the church and I’m currently writing a proposal for an Arts Council grant. The funding will help to establish the art residency and finance the project. It will enable me to lead art workshops and work towards a larger exhibition of my work involving an engagement with the local community. In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone I have met for your warm welcome and look forward to sharing more news soon. Angela Chalmers 5 What’s in a Window? No 6 The Three Marys’ Window Designed by Morris and Burne-Jones The models for these figures were all pre-Raphaelite "stunners", and the story behind all of them is fascinating. Mary the Virgin (centre) is by Burne-Jones and the other two are by William Morris. The Models are (left to right) Annie Miller, Georgiana Burne-Jones and Lizzie Siddal. 6 Mary Magdalene by William Morris is holding a golden container in her right hand, symbolising the spikenard that she anointed Jesus with in St. John’s Gospel. In her left hand she holds a wreath of white roses symbolising chastity regained. The whole story of Mary as a prostitute, who is fallen and redeemed, is a very powerful image of redemption - a signal that no matter how low one has fallen, one can be redeemed. Powerful as this image may be, it is not the story of Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene is mentioned in each of the four gospels in the New Testament, but not once does it mention that she was a prostitute or a sinner. At some point Mary Magdalene became confused with two other women in the Bible: Mary, the sister of Martha, and the unnamed sinner from Luke's gospel (7:36-50) both of whom wash Jesus' feet with their hair. In the 6th Century, Pope Gregory the Great made this assumption official by declaring in a sermon that these three characters were really the same person: Mary Magdalene, repentant saint. The Catholic Church did later declare that Mary Magdalene was not the penitent sinner, but this was not until 1969. After so long the reputation still lingers. The floral designs on Mary’s dress reflect the Victorian language of flowers; there are sunflowers symbolising resurrection, and laurel which symbolises triumph and chastity, a further reflection on the reformed Mary’s triumph over her previous life. 7 Burne-Jones used his wife, Georgiana, for the model of Mary the Virgin. She holds a gold book in her right hand symbolising charity, while in her left hand is a large lily symbolising purity. The blood red background symbolises the sacrifice her son will make The symbols in most of the church windows are large which is one of the features of pre- Raphaelite stained glass window design. Above Mary is a sunburst or star (etoile) symbolising hope. 8 The floral patterns on her dress include pomegranates and sunflowers.

Ken Ow used a recording of a trumpet playing “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” on his phone, then amplified it through his bullhorn! Pastor Jeff started with the greeting and service. Karina Mobley did a superb job as the “Child of the Resurrection,” recounting her views of Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter morning. Valerie Blane, as Mary, Jesus’ mother, told listeners highlights of Jesus’ life and the fulfillment of God’s promise with the resurrection. The delightfully yummy breakfast featured Natalie McManus’ famous egg casserole, Mark’s muffins and pastries, Virginia’s selection of cut fruits and special dip, as well as tea, coffee, and juice. Thanks to Ed Swanson for taking care of the chairs. Valerie Blane 10:00 AM Easter Morning Worship Service A joyous Easter celebration started with Tony’s trumpet piece on the organ, followed by bells on the organ. Truly, one could almost see the bell ringers! The altar was full of beautiful flowers and fragrant scents. A fresh, bright white drape hung from the cross. People wore smiles. Some children wore hats! (Do you remember back in the day when all females wore new hats for Easter?) The choir sang Randall Thompson’s “Alleluia,” an incredibly glorious piece, whose harmonies are intricately woven into insistent praise and thanksgiving. Liturgist Merlyn Vemury read the Easter story. Pastor Jeff gave a sermon on the empty tomb. We took a moment to bless Jennifer Fellows who left for a solo trip to Utah to visit her mother.

It sheds light on the role of twelve female models, muses, wives, poets, and artists active within the Pre- Raphaelite circle, which is revealed as much less of an exclusive “boys’ club.” The aim of the exhibition was to “redress the balance in showing just how engaged and central women were to the endeavor, as the subjects of the images themselves, but also in their production,” as stated on the back cover of the catalogue accompanying the exhibition. Although there have been previous exhibitions on the female artists associated with the movement, such as in Pre-Raphaelite Women Artists (Manchester City Art Galleries, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Southampton City Art Gallery, 1997–98), the broader scope of this exhibition counts models and relatives among the significant players within art production and distribution.

In The Religion of Humanity: The Impact of Comtean Positivism on Victorian Britain T.R. Wright observed that “the inner struggles of many of [Comte's] English disciples, so amply documented in their note books, letters, and diaries, have not so far received the close sympathetic treatment they deserve.” Material from a previously little known and un-researched archive of the Lushington family now makes possible such a study.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

    GENDER STUDIES 19(1)/2020 10.2478/genst-2021-0001 SISTERS OF INSPIRATION. FROM SHAKESPEAREAN HEROINE TO PRE-RAPHAELITE MUSE DANA PERCEC West University of Timișoara [email protected] Abstract: The paper aims to make a connection between the female models of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the portrayal of Shakespearean heroines, given that the 19th-century school of painting was using the Bard not only as a source of legitimation and authority, but also as a source of displacement, tackling apparently universal and literary subjects that were in fact disturbing for the Victorian sensibilities, such as love and eroticism, neurosis and madness, or suicide. As more recent scholarship has revealed, the women behind the Brotherhood, while posing as passive and contemplative, objects on display for the public gaze, had more agency and mobility than the average Victorian women. Keywords: Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, female models, Victorian sensibilities, Shakespearean heroines, sisterhood. 1. Introduction The Pre-Raphaelite movement has received a lot of critical attention both in artistic terms and in terms of the literary sources of inspiration this school of painting used. The founders, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt were members of the same generation of young imaginative artists, but even half a century after the first PRB exhibition in 1848, a late Pre-Raphaelite like John William Waterhouse had the same technical and aesthetic approach. Escapist and nostalgic, the Pre-Raphaelite painting favours medieval settings, Biblical or mythological themes, lavish costumes and vivid colours. Above all, it brings to the forefront the female subject: beautiful young women in a melancholy pose, enigmatic and inactive, statuesque and aloof.
