Krátky popis
This exquisite collection of paintings illustrates just how
marvelously the Pre- Raphaelites' focus on the natural world
intersected with the Victorian passion for all things botanical.
Short-lived but highly influential, the Pre-Raphaelite movement was
fueled by a rejection of academic artistic conventions and a
longing for the aesthetic simplicity and moral sincerity of
medieval and early Renaissance art. But it also coincided with a
Victorian obsession with botany, gardening and flower arranging.As
a result, painters such as Rosetti, Millais and Hughes populated
their works with floral symbols that were steeped in religious and
cultural significance. This stunning book examines the greatest of
these works, including portraits of Hamlet's Ophelia, the Virgin
Mary, and figures from Greek mythology and medieval lore. Each
entry features a full-page reproduction of the painting,
accompanied by smaller details and an engaging text that offers
fascinating background and contextual clues to deepen readers'
appreciation of the Pre- Raphaelite language.As lush and colorful
as a late summer bouquet, this book is the perfect gift for lovers
of flowers as well as for fans of romantic Victorian art.
