  1. Marianne Stokes

  2. Marianne Stokes the Pre-Raphaelite movement Designed by artist Marianne Stokes this tapestry was woven by John Martin and Gordon Berry, Morris & Co, Merton Abbey in 1912 The tapestry Ehret die Frauen was inspired by a quotation from Schiller's 1796 poem, 'Wurde der Frauen' (Women's Worth) which appears in the upper border: 'honour the women, they broid and weave heavenly roses into earthly life'. Below the figures are labelled left to right: Courage, Caring, Love, Wisdom and Fidelity. The original hangs in the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester. The tapestry itself represents five different aspects of the virtues of womanhood. The women featured from left to right are Schutz (Protection or Courage), Pflege (Nurture), Liebe (Love), Wissen (Wisdom) and Treue (Fidelity). The Schiller verse in full Ehret die frauen sie flechten und meben, himmlische rosen ins irdische leben (Honour the women, they braid and weave heavenly roses into earthly life), is written within the border of the tapestry. The English translation seems to differ a little from person to person, but the general implication seems to be the same. Marianne Stokes (1855-1927) Marianne Stokes (1855 Graz – 1927 London), born Marianne Preindlsberger in the Austrian province of Styria, was an Austrian painter. She settled in England after her marriage to Adrian Scott Stokes (1854-1935), the landscape painter, whom she had met in Pont-Aven. Marianne Stokes was considered one of the leading artists in Victorian England. As a member of the Royal Academy, Stokes exhibited her paintings, such as Aucassin and Nicollette, and they were met with much love and admiration, both for their appeal and Stokes s devotion to the rustic genre style, no matter the subject. 85 84
