Inhaltsangabe

A society of young artists and writers, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in London in 1848 to rebel against the classical academic painting conventions of the day in favor of a meeting of medieval romanticism and new realism. Inspired by the theories of art critic John Ruskin, who urged artists to "go to nature," Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, and other artists created works predominantly dealing with religious themes, love, death, and subjects from literature and poetry. Fully illustrated, this book is an accessible introduction to the popular movement.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A society of young artists and writers, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in London in 1848. Known for controversially rebelling against the classical academic painting conventions of the day, they were inspired by theories of John Ruskin who urged artists to 'go to nature', resulting in subject matter dealing with religion, romance, love, death, and subjects from literature and poetry, all executed in the finest detail. Including all major works by artists such as William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, this is the ideal guide to a fascinating group.
