Title: Pre-Raphaelites in Love
Description: Collins, 1989. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 468. In 1848 a group of brilliant young artists banded together and dubbed themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Believing that painting had declined since the time of Raphael, they decreed that every rose must be painted from a live flower and every face from a human being. Inevitably, their creative passions became tangled with romantic ones, as the artists-William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and later, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris-became involved with their models in tempestuous, sometimes tragic, relationships.nAnyone who has seen the work of the Pre-Raphaelites has been struck by the dreamy, luminous women portrayed in the paintings. But who were these women? And what happened when these beautiful girls who consented to model-scandalous behavior at the time-found themselves idealized and adored by the men who painted them? In this ambitious and immensely readable book, author Gay Daly introduces us to these intriguing women. ISBN: 9780002179928. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
