{"product_id":"the-pre-raphaelite-dream-paintings-and-drawings-from-the-collection","title":"THE PRE-RAPHAELITE DREAM Paintings and Drawings From The Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003ePre-Raphaelitism was one of the great revolutionary movements of nineteenth-century British art, rejecting both the academic dryness of classicism and the vapid sentimentality of so-called genre painting. Instead, using subjects taken from modern life, medievalism, and literature, Pre-Raphaelitism sought to explore more contemporary issues, including gender, marriage, sex, and the fulfillment of love.\nThe Pre-Raphaelite Dream showcases the range, virtuosity, and vision of the artists aligned with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Familiar, iconic pictures such as \u003cstrong\u003eRossetti'\u003c\/strong\u003es Proserpine, \u003cstrong\u003eHolman Hunt\u003c\/strong\u003e's The Awakening Conscience and \u003cstrong\u003eMillai\u003c\/strong\u003es's Mariana, are brought together with undeservedly less well-known paintings by the major artists, including Holman Hunt's wonderful, jewel-like early portrait of Frederic Stephens and his haunting and ambiguous canvas, The Ship. Exceptional but rarely exhibited Pre-Raphaelite drawings, including major Rossetti and \u003cstrong\u003eBume-Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e works on paper that are unique to the Tate Collection, are also highlighted, as are a small group of prints.\n\nThe rich flowering of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics outside the original Brotherhood is explored, and the movement placed in its fuller historical and social context through the examination of less famous artists and works by artists who were friends or followers of the Brotherhood members. This includes some outstanding pictures by artists including\u003cstrong\u003e Simeon Solomon, Spencer Stanhope, Arthur Hughes, \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e Robert Martineau\u003c\/strong\u003e; and excellent works by often neglected members of the original Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood,\u003cstrong\u003e Thomas Woolner\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFrederic Stephens\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine Plus. \u003c\/strong\u003eVery light scratches on the front cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59640912052510,"sku":"RB4746","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/RB-4746-pre-raphaelite-dream.jpg?v=1784501441","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-pre-raphaelite-dream-paintings-and-drawings-from-the-collection","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
