| Summary |
The Pre-Raphaelites is an authoritatively written and superbly illustrated survey of what has become perhaps the most universally recognizable and admired movement in English art. Christopher Wood presents the entire story featuring not only the leading figures and their associates - Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Arthur Hughes and Ford Madox Brown - but also many followers. The author outlines the development of the movement in general and the lives and works of the main figures in detail. He examines the less familiar features of Pre-Raphaelite landscape painting and the influence of John Ruskin and unravels the complexities of the later 'aesthetic' phase of the movement exemplified in the remarkable paintings of Edward Burne-Jones and John William Waterhouse |
