Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Sehr gut. 176 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Is it fair to yoke together artists as diverse as William Holman Hunt and Edward Burne-Jones with the same term: 'Pre-Raphaelite'? Visually they have little in common, but their works are linked by other factors. They were connected personally, through networks of friends, and culturally, through shared literary or historical sources. Perhaps most importantly, they were both described as 'Pre-Raphaelites' by their contemporaries. This book will show how the Pre-Raphaelite ideal was transformed between the 1840s and the 1860s, as the original Pre-Raphaelite Brothers (1848-53) found that their personalities and aspirations pulled in different directions. Within a few years, these diverse approaches - particularly the tension between realism and the world of the imagination - were developed by a younger generation of artists. Images drawn from medieval poetry, minutely studied landscapes, and femmes fatales, could all be traced back to the Brotherhood of 1848, and were legitimately labelled 'Pre-Raphaelite'. We can also see how Pre-Raphaelite art evolved in the 1860s and 1870s into the equally controversial Aesthetic movement. The growth of different strands of Pre-Raphaclitism may usefully be traced through the development of key pictorial subjects from the late 1840s. Certain texts, such as the Arthurian legends or the works of Chaucer, recur in the art of the Pre-Raphaelites and their associates. In a similar way, the faces of a few models, wives and mistresses can act as a guide, as their images metamorphose from portraits to icons during the second half of the nineteenth century. These subjects can provide a bridge between artists, helping us to link the original Pre-Raphaelite Brothers, especially William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, with others in the Pre-Raphaelite circle, including Edward Burne-Jones, Simeon Solomon, Frederick Sandys, George Price Boyce, Ford Madox Brown, and even photographers like Julia Margaret Cameron.
