The Pre-Raphaelite landscape.

"In this completely revised and updated second edition, Staley takes into account important paintings that have recently come to light, as well as current understandings of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its legacy.

The author provides a comprehensive account of the background and formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, the role of landscape in major Pre-Raphaelite figurative paintings, and the emergence and impact of a school of Pre-Raphaelite landscape painting as well as its place in the wider tradition of British landscape painting.".

"The important Pre-Raphaelite figures, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, and Ford Madox Brown, are discussed, as are the main landscape specialists affected by the movement: Thomas Seddon, George Price Boyce, John William Inchbold, and John Brett. Attention is paid to the significant influence of John Ruskin and his active involvement with many of the artists.".

"This spectacular volume, enhanced by over 150 colour illustrations, is the definitive study of its subject and will provide both visual and intellectual stimulation for anyone drawn to the work of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and its followers."--BOOK JACKET.
