Description
William Bell Scott's Screen A Pre-Raphaelite Romance by Emily Learmont explores a captivating artwork in exquisite detail. Commissioned by James Leathart, this beautifully decorated folding screen takes its inspiration from 15th-century Scots poem The Kingis Quair, depicting key scenes from the imprisonment of James I of Scotland. The book delves into the history of the screen's commission, revealing the remarkable imagery and intricate details that adorn it. It also situates the screen in its historical context, examining the personal relationships that shaped its creation, including Scott's connection with artist Alice Boyd. Illustrated with new photography of the screen, this book offers a unique insight into British and Scottish art. By drawing together elements of chivalric medieval tale and Pre-Raphaelite social circles, Learmont provides a vivid picture of how this captivating artwork was created.
