Sinopsis

In this concise and beautifully illustrated introduction book, expert Jason Rosenfeld walks us through the key moments and central artworks to the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

The Pre-Raphaelites, the first avant-garde group in the history of British art, were bent on introducing bold new ideas, encouraging change in art and challenging the broader culture. They rebelled against the academic art of the day and produced novel explorations of subjects from literature, poetry and the Bible. The principal members of the group, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created such seminal and well-loved paintings as The Awakening Conscience, Ophelia and Beata Beatrix.

Jason Rosenfeld, an acknowledged expert on the Pre-Raphaelites, explores the origins and influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

De la contraportada

A society of young artists and writers, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in London in 1848. Known for controversially rebelling against the classical academic painting conventions of the day, they were inspired by theories of John Ruskin who urged artists to 'go to nature', resulting in subject matter dealing with religion, romance, love, death, and subjects from literature and poetry, all executed in the finest detail. Including all major works by artists such as William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, this is the ideal guide to a fascinating group.
