Description
The Pre-Raphaelites was first established in 1848. Their artistic philosophy, as outlined by John Ruskin, emphasized the importance of representing nature accurately. This beautifully illustrated introduction to the world of the Pre-Raphaelites showcases masterpieces from the British Museum's collection, featuring a range of drawings, prints, and illustrations. The movement's core principle was rooted in its pursuit of truth to nature, encouraging artists to focus on precise representations rather than traditional painterly conventions. With this book, you can explore the key principles and artistic achievements of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. With 96 pages of high-quality images, The Pre-Raphaelites provides a comprehensive overview of this influential art movement.
