The Homestead and the Forest Quilt by May & Jane Morris, daughter & wife respectively of William Morris

Made by May Morris and embroidered by Jane Morris, it was likely intended for the child May would never have. It playfully depicts Kelmscott Manor (where the family was living at the time) and the Thames. Many of the animals were copied from illustrations in books from the Morris family library.

Water Willow

Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (English, 1828–1882)

Date: 1871

Medium: Oil on canvas, glued onto wood panel

Collection: Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Delaware, United States

Description

Water Willow was a signature acquisition for the donor Samuel Bancroft. It encapsulates the aspects of Pre-Raphaelitism that were most attractive to him: it is an exquisitely executed painting of a beautiful woman, and it has an underlying real-life story that involves romantic subterfuge. The painting depicts Jane Morris, the wife of Rossetti’s good friend William Morris. Kelmscott Manor, the home that Morris and Rossetti jointly leased during the summer of 1871, is shown in the left background. It was during this summer that Rossetti and Jane became romantically attached. This painting documents the passion they shared.
