Hypatia by Charles William Mitchell (1885)
Charles William Mitchell was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter from Newcastle, born in 1854 and died in 1903. A contemporary of John William Waterhouse, his work is similar in many ways. His one famous piece was Hypatia, shown in 1885 and likely inspired by the Charles Kingsley serialized novel Hypatia or New Foes with an Old Face. This painting is currently in the Laing Art Gallery.
