The Life and Work of Sir Frederick Leighton, Bart., President of the Royal Academy; Sir John E. Millais, Bart., Royal Academician; L. Alma Tadema, Royal Academician (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Life and Work of Sir Frederick Leighton, Bart., President of the Royal Academy; Sir John E. Millais, Bart., Royal Academician; L. Alma Tadema, Royal Academician
In 1858, when he met forthe first time the three great pre-raphaelite artists, Mr. Millais, with some others who had followed him, were just beginning to shake off some of their youthful absurdities, while retaining, to their immense advantage, the glow of colour and wider interests and more conscientious methods which marked the earlier stages of the movement. The days of 7723 Germ were over, the childish things were being put away, and with them something of early freshness and enthusiasm was departing. It was into this secondary state of things that Sir Frederick came, and of this, we may be sure, he was not slow to reap the fruits. One is more and more struck with the variety of subjects that he painted, and the difference in their mode of treatment. Mythology, Scripture, Vasari, were all illustrated in their turn, and were interspersed with pictures of a more fanciful nature, and with portraits.
