Started in the early 19th century by a group of British painters who rejected the sovereignty of the Royal Academy, the Pre-Raphaelites embraced the natural world and bright colors--as opposed to the dark palettes and amorphous lines that emerged in the wake of the Renaissance. Their mission was to be fundamentally modern by emulating the past. Now readers can appreciate their achievements in this volume that offers side-by-side comparisons of 19th-century masterpieces with the 15th- and 16th-century Early Italian and Early Netherlandish paintings that inspired them. Exquisite reproductions of works by Giotto, Fra Angelico, van Eyck, Botticelli, Titian, Veronese, and Raphael are presented alongside examples by William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and others. The book traces the evolution of the Pre-Raphaelites, and details how these painters were exposed to the early masters as they traveled and encountered the finest European collections. The volume also features decorative arts, including stained glass and tapestries in emulation of Flemish and French textiles as well as "medievalized" ecclesiastic decorations. The result is an illuminating examination that delves into the Pre-Raphaelites' aesthetic vocabulary and broadens our understanding of their motives and inspiration"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 2 $a The inspiration of Early Netherlandish and German art / main essay, Susanna Avery Quash. 650 0 $a Pre-Raphaelitism. 650 0 $a Art, English $y 19th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Art, Early Renaissance. 650 0 $a Art, Early Renaissance $x Influence. 650 7 $a ART / History / Romanticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Collections, Catalogs, Exhibitions / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / History / Renaissance. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Art, Early Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816197 650 7 $a Art, English $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816231 650 7 $a Pre-Raphaelitism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074771 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Buron, Melissa E., $e author. 700 1 $a Avery-Quash, Susanna, $e author. 710 2 $a Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3E87A12E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
