The title of English artist Charles West Cop's painting is taken the poem "Love" by English Samuel Taylor Coleridge which he wrote for his wife Sara. The poem ends in the marriage of the two characters involved, perhaps conveying that the young woman in the painting has only had her hopes temporarily dashed. It's a fusion of two Victorian touchstones: the proverb “hope deferred maketh the heart sick” and Coleridge’s “hopes and fears that kindle hope.” In a dim parlor, a young very light-skinned woman in a full-length white day dress with ruffles reclines sideways on a red velvet chair. Her cheek rests on the seat back; her left arm droops near a small inlaid table where a half-made chain of primroses lies. A fringed shawl slips from the chair. Behind her, a red-covered side table holds an open jewel case and a closed book; to the right looms a carved fireplace. On the wall hangs a storm-tossed seascape with a ship. An upside-down open book and beige gloves lie scattered on a patterned rug. Her gaze is lowered while light falls from the left, highlighting her dress and slightly flushed face as shadows pool on the right side of the room. This painting is a typical Victorian depiction of a young woman whose romantic hopes have been dashed. The objects surrounding her act as symbols for us to interpret. Her gloves are discarded on the floor signifying her despair or perhaps compromised virtue; a book is also discarded on the floor perhaps a romantic tale which had fueled her hopes; the painting on the wall depicts a ship sailing through icy seas reflecting her own turbulence while the primroses on the table likely mean "I can’t live without you." Born in Leeds, Cope trained at Sass’s Academy and the Royal Academy; he traveled in France and Italy, painted frescoes in the House of Lords, and later served as Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy form 1867 to 1875. He also helped found the Etching Club and exhibited widely.

“Hope” by English artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones is a striking late work by one of the leading figures of the Pre-Raphaelite / Arts & Crafts movement. The painting was commissioned by Mrs. George Marston Whitin (Catharine Lasell Whitin) who originally requested a painting of a dancing figure; however, the artist who was freshly grieving the loss of his friend English poet, novelist, translator, and pioneering designer William Morris, proposed instead this allegory of hope. The painting personifies Hope as a chained, imprisoned figure indoors, yet not defeated. Despite her confinement with chains around her ankle and prison bars, she lifts one arm skywards, reaching toward the blue sky through a barred window. In her other hand, she holds a branch of apple blossoms, a traditional symbol of renewal and the promise of life. The upward gesture combats darkness; the blossoms suggest spring, rebirth, and fragile beauty. Burne-Jones based this oil painting on an earlier 1871 watercolor and a design for stained‐glass windows of the Christian Virtues Faith, Hope, and Charity. The vertical format of “Hope” recalls the scale and proportions of stained glass and textile panels, elements Burne-Jones often designed. The work carries deep symbolic resonance: Hope is constrained, yet not extinguished. The chain and bars denote suffering or limitation; the reaching toward light suggests aspiration, faith in what lies beyond immediate adversity. The apple blossom branch signifies a delicate but living hope. In historical context, Burne-Jones was working at a time (1890s England) when many artists, writers and thinkers were preoccupied with the role of moral and spiritual ideals in a changing, more secular, industrial world. “Hope” can be read both as personal mourning and as broader meditation on how one retains aspiration under constraint. After Mrs. Whitin’s death, her daughters donated “Hope” to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston “in memory of Mrs. George Marston Whitin.”

The painting shows a calm harbor. In the foreground, two men in a moored sailboat appear to be haggling with two women on the shore, one of whom is crouching over a large basket. Another woman is walking away to the right, a large round dish or tray balanced on her head. A square brick lighthouse stands in the background, with ivy growing up one side; a crumbling archway extends to its left, with more brick buildings visible through the arch. A figure, perhaps a woman, is walking past the arch. Another sailboat with two figures in it, its sail unfurled, is drawn up next to the lighthouse, while a third boat is at sail on the mirror-still water. A shoreline is in the distance, with a spired tower rising through the hazy air.

Just finished—an excellent, well-told survey of English (not British) art between the wars. Lots of ‘new-to-me’ artists + well-known figures like Paul Nash and Ben Nicholson.

English painter Evelyn De Morgan (Mary Evelyn Pickering) features legendary Pre-Raphaelite muse Jane Morris (Jane Burden) who came out of "retirement" to pose for De Morgan including this thematic painting of a regal woman sitting pensively on an ornate throne, touching an hourglass, while an angelic figure plays a flute in a doorway, hinting at the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. In 1924, De Morgan's sister British writer Anna Marie Diana Wilhelmina Stirling (aka Wilhelmina Stirling and the alias Percival Pickering), wrote that De Morgan identified the painting as "an echo of a movement in the Waldstein Sonata (Piano Sonata No. 21) of Beethoven." This is her description: "In an ancient chair, inlaid with ivory, a woman is seen seated. Behind her on the wall are glowing tapestries; a gold lamp of medieval design is suspended above her head. Her draperies, in wonderful hues of yellow and russet bronze, are thickly sewn with pearls, the delineation of which in correct perspective constituted a tour de force. Jewels of barbaric design accentuate the richness of her attire and gleam again from her quaint head-dress, beneath which shows the first indication of age -- her whitening locks. Meanwhile, with a brooding sorrow, her gaze is fixed upon an hourglass, clasped in her slender fingers, wherein the sands are swiftly running out: at her feet is a dying rose, and close to her lies a book on which are visible the words -- Mos Janua Vitae -- Death is the portal of life. So, too, unheeded by her, outside the open doorway stands the figure of life, the Immortal, piping joyously in the sunlight in robes of azure amid the blossoming flowers of spring." Jane Morris was an accomplished English embroiderer in the Arts and Crafts movement, but is fondly remembered as the model who embodied the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of beauty as the muse for 20 Dante Gabriel Rossetti paintings. She was also the model for De Morgan's popular 1903 "The Love Potion" painting.

Waves crash against a tall lighthouse tower, reaching almost to its lantern, standing in a stormy sea. The painting is rendered chiefly in very dark hues, with a halo of light surrounding the lighthouse lantern.

A view from the lantern room of a lighthouse. Chalk cliffs along a calm sea are seen through a concave window with many small square panes divided by metal bars.
