An engrossing look at the life, love, and work of one of the first modern movements in British art: the Pre-Raphaelites.
The Pre-Raphaelites were a true avant-garde, supremely talented artists ahead of their time. Using their own letters, diaries, poems, and paintings, this handsome illustrated history captures their linked lives and loves in late Victorian Britain. It features the finest painters, writers, critics, and designers of the age, including Ford Madox Brown; Edward Burne-Jones; Fanny Comforth; John Everett Millais; William and Janey Morris; Christina, Dante Gabriel, and William Rossetti; John Ruskin; William Bell Scott; and Lizzie Siddal.
