Synopsis

This seminal book considers the history and relevance of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, situating the movement as a response to broader trends in Victorian society, thought and art. The author traces the movement's inception and influences through the Brotherhood's founding members and associates, including Rossetti, Millais, and Holman Hunt. The book explores the connections between Pre-Raphaelite painting, illustration, sculpture, design, and poetry, unravelling the significance of the movement in the context of 19th century artistic and social history. The depth of themes, and ideas presented underscore the Pre-Raphaelite movement's enduring influence on British art and the legacy of its artists as pioneers of a new aesthetic.
