''Thoughts of the Past'' is an oil painting on canvas by English Pre-Raphaelite artist John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, first exhibited 1859 and currently housed at Tate Britain. ==History== Known as one of the "second-generation" of Pre-Raphaelites, Stanhope was among Dante Gabriel Rossetti's mural-painting party at the Oxford Union in 1857, together with Arthur Hughes, John Hungerford Pollen, Valentine Prinsep, ''Ned'' Burne-Jones and William Morris (nicknamed ''Topsy''). He was a founder member of the Hogarth Club, a direct descendant of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.〔A.M.W. Stirling, "The Life of Roddam Spencer Stanhope, Pre-Raphaelite, a Painter of Dreams," in ''A Painter of Dreams and Other Biographical Studies'' (London: Lane, 1916).〕 This painting, with his depiction of a prostitute remorsefully contemplating her life, showed a subject typical of the Victorian era. Works such as ''Thoughts of the Past'' and Rossetti's ''Found'' (1855) allowed the genteel gallery-going public to sympathise with societal problems - from a safe distance. It was pictures such as William Holman Hunt's ''The Awakening Conscience'' (1854), illustrating a married man and his mistress, which were regarded as threatening to Victorian family life.〔T. Hilto, ''The Pre-Raphelites'', Thames and Hudson (1970). Cf. also Elaine Shefer, "The 'Bird in the Cage' in the "History of Sexuality: Sir John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt," ''Journal of the History of Sexuality'' 1 (1991), p. 475, note 48.〕 Stanhope painted ''Thoughts of the Past'' in a studio just above one owned by Rossetti. Although his model is recognisably Pre-Raphaelite, the background of his painting hints at his own individual, artistic style, which was yet to emerge.〔Elise Lawton Smith, ''Evelyn Pickering de Morgan and the Allegorical Body'', Fairleigh Dickinson University Press (2002).〕 The river, boats and bridge owe more to the conventional style of the art in the Royal Academy than to that of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.see image detail below
