In January 1526 Isabella of Habsburg, Queen of Denmark and sister of the Emperor Charles V, died, leaving behind her three children: John, aged 8; Dorothea, aged 5; and Christina, aged 3. Christina was later portrayed by Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8-1543) as a prospective bride for Henry VIII. In the Royal Collection’s triple portrait, thought to have been painted in the same year, these children are shown wearing the sombre clothes of mourning. More about this painting

Oil on canvas, 206 x 105 cm (81 1/4 x 41 1/4 in.) Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Moreau's interpretation of the Greek myth draws heavily on Ingres' Oedipus and the Sphinx of 1808 (Musée du Louvre, Paris), which was exhibited in Paris in 1846 and 1855. Both painters chose to represent the moment when Oepidus confronted the winged monster in a rocky pass outside the city of Thebes. Unlike her other victims, he could answer her riddle and thus saved himself and the besieged Thebans. The painting was a success at the Salon of 1864; it won a medal and established Moreau's reputation. Moreau made more than thirty studies for this work and many repetitions after it. - The Metropolitan Museum of Art

‘Fair Rosamund’ is the historical Rosamond Clifford, mistress of King Henry II. According to an old English ballad she was kept in a house, set in a maze, where only the King could find her, following the special silk cord. Queen Eleanor, Henry’s wife, eventually traced her there, and had her murdered. (Olga's gallery)

Beata Beatrix is a portrait of Rossetti’s dead wife, Elizabeth Siddal. Once again the subject comes from Dante’s Vita Nuova, and shows the mystical translation of Beatrice from earth to heaven. On the right stands Dante, staring across to the Angel of Love. Beatrice sits beside a sundial on which the shadow falls on nine, the hour of her death on 9 June 1290. A red bird, the messenger of death, drops a poppy, the symbol of sleep, into her folded hands. (Olga's Gallery)
