About this title

Synopsis

Pre-Raphaelitism And The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood V2 is a book written by W. Holman-Hunt and published in 1914. The book is a comprehensive study of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English artists who formed in 1848 and sought to reform art by rejecting the conventions of the Royal Academy and returning to the principles of early Italian Renaissance art. The book covers the history of the Brotherhood, including its formation and the key figures involved, such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt himself. It also explores the artistic principles and techniques of the Pre-Raphaelites, including their use of bright colors, attention to detail, and interest in medieval and Arthurian themes. In addition to discussing the art of the Pre-Raphaelites, the book also delves into their social and political beliefs, including their support for women's rights and their criticism of industrialization and urbanization. The book includes numerous illustrations of Pre-Raphaelite art, as well as photographs of the artists themselves and their studios. Overall, Pre-Raphaelitism And The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood V2 is an important work of art history that provides a detailed and insightful look at one of the most significant artistic movements of the 19th century.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
