Description
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's artistic aspirations and personal lives are revealed in this illustrated history. Through their passionate writings, including letters, diaries, and reminiscences, the works of Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, Fanny Cornforth, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, William and Janey Morris, Christina, Dante Gabriel, and William Rossetti, John Ruskin, William Bell Scott, and Lizzie Siddal are showcased. The book explores the group's creative partnerships, which also formed the firm William Morris and Co, revitalising Victorian art and design. The Pre-Raphaelites were a close-knit circle of love, friendship, and art, marked by both happiness and tragedy, as well as critical hostility and success. This new edition publishes in time for the Burne-Jones Exhibition at Tate Britain, starting in October 18, offering a vital insight into the Pre-Raphaelite art movement. With over 160 pages of illustrations, this book is an essential resource for understanding the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's enduring legacy.
