About the Item

The Pre-Raphaelites by Sandra Forty Hardcover Book. Title: The Pre-Raphaelites Publisher: Barnes & Noble Books, U.S.A. Publication Date: 1997 Binding: Hardcover Condition: Near Fine Dust Jacket Condition: Good Edition: 1st Edition. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt. These were among the young British artists who, in the revolutionary year of 1848, set out to return a lost vibrancy to European art. Calling themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, they and their later followers—including Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris—mounted an artistic front against what they saw as the confining standards of the Victorian art world, and the dehumanizing aspects of the industrial age. Their works drew on Shakespeare, Keats, Tennyson, and medieval lore. They also treated religious and contemporary themes with striking realism, bringing viewers into intimate contact with the subject and causing scandal in their time.
