Description
The original painter of this scene, Herbert James Draper (1863-1920) was an English Neoclassicist painter, but it does have a PRB, classic feel. I have not found anything out yet about M. Macpherson Quilter who painted this fine watercolour.

Medium: watercolour on board
Size: image size 230mm x 360mm
Inscription: On the back of the frame, it bears the Frost & Reed frame maker's label, and is dated 1935.
Signed: yes, M. Macpherson Quilter 1932, at bottom right
Notes: This painting is an after of Herbert James Draper’s 1901 oil on canvas titled Tristan and Iseult, that hangs in the Paisley Museum & art gallery.

Thanks, yes it is, very fine work. Also when you consider the small size 23 x 36cm of the artwork.

Nice how it reveals the exterior which kind of steals the attention from the timeless romance story.  A very popular subject matter having many painted works based on them through centuries.

Yes I like that too, gives great depth to the painting. They both have a different view on each other after drinking the love potion.

Lovely. Seems like the sort of Art Nouveau that was a big influence on Barry Windsor Smith.

I'd say BWS certainly liked Pre Raphaelite, and Neoclassicism. Along with Romanticism these movements gave powerful images and stories full of wonderful characters. These area I gravitate to in any museum or gallery. This is the illustrated art of their times, and are going to have an impression on artists that follow. Without Matania, then Krenkel may not have been who he was, and of course he was an influence for many that follower from Frazetta to Wrightson.
