(P/B) THE ART OF THE PRE-RAPHAELITES

Παρουσίαση

When the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood met in lodgings in London's Gower Street in 1848, they were to produce a statement of ideas which would revolutionise art practice in Victorian England. Elizabeth Prettejohn explores why Pre- Raphaelite art retains the power to fascinate, and often to shock, a century and a half later. (From the publisher)

There is no question that The Art of the Pre- Raphaelites will remain the standard work on the Brotherhood for many years to come. Unreservedly recommended. (Cercles journal, University of Rouen)

Comprehensively illustrated, clearly written and introduces the reader to many invigorating new ideas. (The Time Literary Supplement)
