VICTORIAN PAINTING

Artist by artist and movement by movement, Graham Reynolds gives a wide and fresh insight into the whole era of Victorian painting. Among the more familiar artists whose work is discussed are Landseer, Turner, Rossetti, Holman Hunt, Millais, Burne-Jones, Whistler, Alta-Tadema, and Sargent, and hundreds of others who shaped the various movements. Mr. Reynolds, who is Keeper of the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is as lively as he is learned and his book is delightful reading. There are 137 illustrations, 39 in full color, with scholarly and detailed notes on each. This will surely become the standard work on the subject. Also included is a laid in article from an art magazine called "From The Dark Garden Of The Mind". Out of Print. Condition: Fine. Light dust jacket edge wear.
