They created an entirely new style of painting that looked back to the romance of medieval chivalry and also documented contemporary Victorian social themes with a painstaking technique that demanded the closest possible attention to naturalistic detail. The revolutionary nature of these pictures resulted in repeated and often vitriolic attacks from such critics as Charles Dickens, and within five years the original brotherhood was disbanded. However, the aspirations, the techniques and the striking and often beautiful paintings of the Pre~Raphaelites survived to influence and inspire artists during the remaining years of the nineteenth century and even into the early part of the twentieth. The Pre~Raphaelites is an authoritatively written and superbly illustrated survey of what has become perhaps the most universally recognizable and admired movement in English art. In this book Christopher Wood presents the entire story of Pre~Raphaelitism, featuring not only the leading figures and their associates~Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Arthur Huges, and Ford Madox Brown~but also many followers. The work of over forty artists is illustrated in more than one hundred color plates and numerous black~and~white illustrations that represent the key paintings of the principal exponents of the style; also included are many lesser~known works by them and by their followers, some examples of which have never before been reproduced in color. The author outlines the development of the movement in general and the lives and works of the main figures in detail. He examines the less familiar features of PreRaphaelite landscape painting, evaluates the influence of John Ruskin, and unravels the complexities of the later, "aesthetic" phase of the movement, which was exemplified by the remarkable paintings of Edward Burne~Jones and John William Waterhouse. The book concludes with the author's personal appraisal of the recent resurgence of interest in the fascinating, history, personalities, and pictures of the Pre~Raphaelites.
