The Dedication by Edmund Blair Leighton
The Dedication is an important rediscovery in Edmund Blair Leighton's oeuvre. Known only through a black and white photogravure published in 1908 it has not appeared on the open market for over seventy-five years. The picture is one of several painted in the 1900s in which a knight and his lady are seen in incidents illustrative of the code of chivalry. This series included The Accolade; and God Speed
Although not specifically Arthurian in subject matter, these pictures represent a late phase of the Victorian revival of interest in the national legend. Pictorially, they have many antecedents. Perhaps the most obvious are William Dyce's murals in the Queen's Robing Room in the House of Lords, in which the artist used incidents from the Arthurian stories to embody abstract concepts such as religion, chivalry, generosity and mercy, and the chivalric subjects that Rossetti and his followers were so fond of in the late 1850s.
In this painting by Leighton we see a knight and a noble lady in a Church kneeling before an alter as the knight pledges his sword in his holy cause and the noble lady offers up a prayer with her eyes closed and hands clasped; while in the background we see a soldier waiting outside, holding the knights horse.

Grand Duchesses Anastasia and Maria, 1904
“It [whooping cough] speedily spread to the nurseries and to the four children. The Russian nurse and I contracted it. I had told the children that they were to be most careful not to cough on anyone, or that person might take the disease from them, and they were very obedient.
One day the little Grand Duchess Anastasie was sitting on my lap, coughing and choking away, when the Grand Duchess Marie came up to her and putting her face close up to her said, ‘Baby, darling, cough on me.’ Greatly amazed, I asked her what she meant, and the dear child said, ‘I am so sorry to see my dear little sister so ill, and I thought if I could take it from her she would be better.’ Was it not touching?”

Eugene has my favorite style of painting, portraying in most cases, hardworking women living the best of their liveswith lovely smiling friends. His images always reminds me of my best friends and all the good times we had together and we still have.

The shadow of Louis points to the image of the guillotine and says to Nicholas: "Be careful, Brother." In front of him is a crowd of people begging him to sign a petition, but the Tsar seems to ignore it. The cartoon refers to Bloody Sunday. Even then, it was obvious to many abroad that revolution was inevitable in Russia.
