May Margaret (1865-6). Frederick Sandys (English, Pre-Raphaelite, 1829-1904). Oil on canvas. Delaware Art Museum.Sandys was probably the best draughtsman amongst the Pre-Raphaelites, and he was a supremely naturally talented artist, in the same league as Millais. The rejection of Medea by the Royal Academy in 1868 seems to have had, not surprisingly, a profound effect on Sandys. This rejection by the Hanging Committee was quite obviously politically based. -- source link
