A painting such as Mammon shows Watts pushing beyond his earlier sculptural realism to test how far he can warp and stretch the human form. In addition, the surfaces of Watts paintings are often scarred and ridged, as if pulling away from the flat canvas. It is exactly this continuation that struck president of the RA Christopher Le Brun , when, as a young artist in the early s, he first encountered Watts after making the pilgrimage to the Watts Gallery in Surrey.

For a period in the s, Watts even abandoned allegory in favour of urgent social realism.

The Irish Famine depicts a young family evicted from their home. In at the age of 46 he married the year-old actor Ellen Terry, who had been his model. In his Pygmalion fantasy, Watts would take a beautiful working-class girl and educate her into ladyhood. But Terry was too difficult, too interesting and above all too talented to be saved from herself.

After 10 awkward months in a hothouse marriage, she left Watts and embarked on the business of becoming the preeminent Shakespearean actor of her age. The turbulence of that time did at least produce what remains for many the most exquisite painting Watts ever produced. The allegorical mode may be in full play — this is a choice between worldly vanities and the higher virtues — but Watts cannot help revealing himself here not only as a master colourist but as a sensualist to rival his contemporary Rossetti. Monumental Murals continues at the Watts Gallery, Compton.
