Luminescent women with long, lustrous hair and just-bitten lips stare hauntingly from the canvases of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. These women were artists, immigrants, studio assistants, wives and more who helped sustain and shape the movement. They have their own stories that spill out of the canvases and, 160 years after the first pictures went on show, they are being told in Pre-Raphaelite Sisters at the National Portrait Gallery. Spellbinding. From £18; 17 Oct – 26 Jan 2020; St Martin’s Place, WC2H
