Art of the Pre-Raphaelites by Elizabeth Prettejohn
When the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood met in 1848, they produced a statement of ideas that would revolutionize artistic practice in pre-Victorian England. This book examines why these ideas still retain the power to fascinate and shock over 150 years later.
Prettejohn has not only brought together so many of this time period's masterpieces, but has also provided the history and means with which to realize the full impact of these paintings.. If reading about art doesn't sound too exhilarating, this book will spark interest just from a momentary view of the enchanting paintings inside.
