Sigismunda Mourning over the Heart of Guiscardo 1759 This was Hogarth's most deliberate attempt to prove that modern English painters could handle heroic themes as convincingly as the revered Italian Old Masters. His chosen subject was the moment from Boccaccio's "Decameron" when the tragic princess discovers the murder of her lover after the murderers send her his heart in a golden goblet. The work was received with such harsh criticism that Hogarth all but abandoned painting for the last years of his life. Canvas; 1004 x 1265 mm N01046

La Belle Iseult 1858 Oil on canvas; 718 x 502 mm The inspiration for this painting was Thomas Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur' (1485), in which Guinevere's adulterous love for Sir Lancelot is one of the central themes. The model is Jane Burden who became Morris's wife in 1859, and also appears in Rossetti's 'Proserpine' displayed nearby. She was 'discovered' by Morris and Rossetti when they were working together on the Oxford Union murals, the subject matter for which was also taken from Malory. The painting is essentially a portrait of her in medieval dress. It is a splendid expresion of the intense medieval style prevailing in Rossetti's circle in the late 1850s, with its emphasis on pattern and historical detail. This is Morris's only completed oil painting. N04999
