No fewer than 13 major artists, including Edward Burne-Jones, Edward Poynter, and Albert Moore, took part in the painting of this unique piece of furniture, which has now returned to the Ashmolean Museum after an absence of over 80 years. Ribeyrol throws new light on the chromophilia of the Pre-Raphaelite architect William Burges and his key role in shaping aesthetic debates about color in the 1860s. This crucial decade, which saw the advent of the first synthetic dyes, transformed the experience of color for many painters and poets in Burges's circle. Interweaving art, literature, and chemistry, Ribeyrol reads the eight painted panels of the Great Bookcase in the context of this 'color revolution', which brought to the fore new approaches to color while simultaneously triggering a revival of the polychromy of the Pagan and Christian past. Drawing on pioneering interdisciplinary research and featuring new photography throughout, this book provides a definitive account of one of Burges's most cherished and complex artworks"-- $c Page 2 of dust jacket. 600 10 $a Burges, William, $d 1827-1881. $t Great bookcase. 610 20 $a Ashmolean Museum $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000121715847 610 27 $a Ashmolean Museum. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00562971 650 0 $a Pre-Raphaelitism $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Bookcases $z Oxford. $z Oxford. 650 0 $a Color in art. 650 7 $a Bookcases. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836313 650 7 $a Pre-Raphaelitism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074771 651 7 $a England $z Oxford. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205511 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 700 1 $a Ghigo, Tea, $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9B3A07856B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
