Art of the 19th century

I just came across ArtMagick: "a virtual gallery dedicated to the continual quest of seeking out obscure 19th century artists and long-forgotten paintings showing a "magic world of romance and pictured poetry". The majority of the content in the archive covers the Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist movements." I love it. One feature is the picture of the day, with accompanying information. What a lovely way to learn.

Today's picture is Arnold Böcklin's "War", an "allegory ... inspired by St John's vision of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse."
