Pre-Raphaelites by Heather Birchall
Get to know the Pre-Raphaelites, an undercover brotherhood of poets, painters, and critics, often regarded as Britains first modern art movement. With key works by leading artists, this book explores the groups rejection of Classical beauty ideals, and its reactionary immersion in nature, medieval culture, and literary emblems of love and death.
