Pre-Raphaelites Basic Genre by Heather Birchall
Sometimes considered the first avant-garde art movement, the Pre-Raphaelites rejected their era's dominant artistic theories for what they saw as a more spiritual, naturalistic and intensely personal approach. This book examines the group's emergence, development, influence, and subsequent demise.
