Description:The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was an association of painters, formed in London in 1848. Its chief members were Holman Hunt, Millais and Rossetti. As a group, the Brotherhood lasted for little more than a decade, but it gave a new direction to Victorian art which lasted into the 20th century. They determined to paint direct from nature, with objective truthfulness, emulating the work of the great Italian artists before Raphael. They turned to the Bible and classical mythology for inspiration, and some of their best-known works are shown in this splendid volume, including Hunt's Light of the World and Millais' Christ in the House of His Parents.This series on the lives and works of the great painters provides an invaluable guide. In each volume, a short introduction gives a brief biography of the artist and explains the elements of his or her painting style. Fifty paintings are reproduced in full color, and an extended caption to each clearly explains the background to the work, its significance in the history of art, and its position in the complete canon of the artist's work.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
