Pre-Raphaelites

157 illustrations, 21 in colour. The works of the Pre-Raphaelites are among the best known and best loved of all English paintings, and yet there has long been a tendency to dismiss them as mere Victorian, and to deny them their proper status as works of art. This pioneering critical history places the movement in its historical setting, relating the individual painters and their art to the larger concerns of nineteenth-century society.Hilton, Timothy is the author of 'Pre-Raphaelites' with ISBN 9780195199291 and ISBN 0195199294.
