This is Vengeance is Sworn by Francesco Hayez (1851).
It depicts a woman being told her lover has been unfaithful. Her friend is encouraging her to seek revenge by publicly denouncing him.
This painting is so intense!
Study it...what do you notice?

You never quite know what you will find when renovating buildings. Sometime it is bad and costly news but in this case it was interesting. While restoring the 19th-century University of Huddersfield's Ramsden building Henry Boot Construction uncovered some hand-painted Victorian wallpaper hidden

‘Building Dracula over seven years, Stoker approached it with almost scientific precision. Victorians may not have suspected the nightmare they were reading was so obsessively researched, and for decades after Stoker’s death in 1912, the steps he took to create Dracula remained a mystery.’ 🧛♂️
On the Twisted Trail of Bram Stoker’s Notes for ‘Dracula’
Bram Stoker’s creative process behind his iconic Gothic novel was shrouded in mystery for nearly a century.

In the Victorian era, some public libraries created Ladies’ Reading Rooms to protect women from “loafers.”
These separate rooms were meant to give respectable women a quiet, safe place to read—away from idle men who lingered or caused disturbances.

Which reminds me. About time to drag out Frankenstein again.
Re-read Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights". Goodness me is good... Constantly found myself wondering why I read so many contemporary crime novels when I could be reading classics like this. Would love to spend a whole year reading nothing but Victorian fiction. This time around I was very aware 1/3

Look, I’m not a minimalist by any stretch of the imagination. My favored decor can best be described as Victorian, by which I mean cluttered as fuck with knickknacks, antimacassars, and obstructive side tables with carved paws.
But even *I* think this is a nightmare of tacky visual overload.

The Victorians who turned mourning into an art form revived tear bottles or Lachrymatory for crying into at funerals circa 1837. Dating back to ancient Rome, the mourner who cried the most tears into a bottle at the funeral of an important person got a bonus.
