In Victorian England; with the country swept up in the Industrial Revolution; the Pre-Raphaelites; close to William Morrisrsquo; Arts and Crafts movement; yearned for a return to bygone values. Wishing to revive the pure and noble forms of the Italian Renaissance; the major painters of the circle (such as John Everett Millais; Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt) favoured realism and biblical themes over the academicism of the time. This work; with its captivating text and rich illustrations; describes with enthusiasm this singular movement which notably inspired Art Nouveau and Symbolism.
