About this title

Synopsis

The Pre-Raphaelites, a brotherhood of English painters and poets founded in 1848 to protest the low standards of British art, included as its principals Dante Gabriel Rossetti, W. Holman Hunt, and John Millais. These artists, and those who followed their lead, sought to portray the beauty and simplicity of the world through symbols and images, beautifully captured in this volume in 100 vivid full-color illustrations.

Book Description

Western art has evolved through a wide range of styles, each characterized by its own unique philosophy and masterpieces. This series is a visual tribute to these formative movements in Western art and the artists and forces that created them.

Here is the story of Victorian rebels such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Edward Burne-Jones, and William Morris, who sought to portray the beauty and simplicity of the world through symbols and images.
