    National Gallery of Art Pre-Raphaelites Victorian Art and Design, 1848 – 1900 February 17 – May 19, 2013 4 Introduction 6 Origins 11 Literature and History 17 Nature 22 Salvation 29 Beauty 35 Paradise 42 Mythologies 49 Biographies Pre-Raphaelites Introduction Queen Victoria had been on the throne for little more than a decade when seven fervent young men formed a secret society in London in 1848 with the aim of rejuvenating the arts in industrial-age Britain. Bonding over their mutual passion for medieval art and disdain for contemporary painting practices, they called their group the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) in acknowledgment of their admiration of art prior to Raphael (1483 – 1520). The three most talented members were John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt — ages nineteen, twenty, and twenty-one, respectively. Along with other artists in their circle, most significantly their men- tor Ford Madox Brown, they sowed the seeds of a self-consciously avant-garde movement, one whose ideals they published in a short-lived journal, The Germ. Pre-Raphaelite paintings often addressed subjects of moral seriousness, whether pertaining to history, literature, religion, or modern society. While the artists emulated the pure colors, spatial flatness, and linear draftsmanship of late Gothic and early Renaissance art, their unconventional style — with its hyperrealism and brilliant palette — looked shocking to the public when their first paintings were exhibited in 1849. As an official group, the Pre-Raphaelites stayed together for only five years. But a second generation of artists, centered on Rossetti and led by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, arose in the 1860s with the aim of cultivating beauty in everyday life.

Blazoning Mary Magdalene Sophie Gray, The University of Liverpool Mary Magdalene is a significant figure in the Christian world, largely due to her unique relationship with Christ. As a woman and a reformed prostitute, the Magdalene is an unlikely friend to the son of God. However, despite her low social status and sinful past, Mary is featured in all four Gospels and is present at several crucial moments in Christ’s life and death: she anoints his feet as a sign of humbleness, witnesses his crucifixion and is the first to see his resurrection, after which she leaves society to lead a contemplative life in the desert. As patron saint of repentant sinners and the contemplative life, Mary Magdalene was an aspirational figure in late medieval piety, and the subject of many religious paintings and statues.

Introduction • The British love portraits. Portraits were the most popular category of painting in Britain and the mainstay of most artists earnings.

It seems obvious but I will explore many types of portrait and many reasons why portraits were painted to show it is not as simple as it appears at first. • Portraits had various functions: • Love token or family remembrance • Beauty, the representation of a particular woman because of her beauty (ideal beauties were painted but were not portraits) • Record for prosperity of famous or infamous people • Moral representation of the ‘great and the good’ to emulate.

  • Dispelling the Myths Surrounding Nineteenth-Century British
    Recommended book: Shearer West, Portraiture, Oxford History of Art, (£10.34 on Amazon). An introduction to portraiture through the centuries. • Portraits were the most popular category of painting in Britain and the mainstay of most artists earnings. There are therefore thousands of examples of portraits painted throughout the nineteenth century. I have chosen a small number of portraits that tell a story and link together some of the key artists of the nineteenth century while illustrating some of the most important aspects of portrait painting. • In the second exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1769 of the 265 objects a third were portraits, sixty years later, in 1830, of 1,278 objects half were portraits of which 300 were miniatures or small watercolours or and 87 sculptures. In the next 40 years photography became a thriving business, and in 1870 only 247, a fifth, of the 1,229 exhibits were portraits but only 32 were miniatures. Portrait sculptures, which photography could not emulate, increased to 117. • The unique thing about portrait paintings is that a recognisable likeness is a prerequisite and so the many fashions in modern art have had little impact on portrait painting. • The British have always been fascinated by the face of the individual. • Portraits had various functions: • Love token or family remembrance • Beauty, the representation of a particular woman because of her beauty (ideal beauties were painted but were not portraits) • Record for prosperity of famous or infamous people • Moral representation of the ‘great and the good’ to emulate. Renaissance portraits represented the ‘great and the good’ and this desire to preserve the unique physical appearance of ‘great men’ continued into the 19th century with Watts ‘House of Fame’.

The exhibition, Pre-Raphaelite Sisters, opens a new view on the women within and behind the art. How did these women relate to the images? What did they really look like? How did they become involved? How did they fare? What happened to them in later life? The exhibition invites you to explore the creative contribution of women in the Pre-Raphaelite circle and reveals their own artistic ambitions and glimpses of their private lives. Supported by The Tavolozza Foundation, The Michael Marks Charitable Trust and The Peter Cadbury Charitable Trust Belcolore By Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–82) This is a fine example of the sexually-alluring type of image for which one of the most recognizable Pre-Raphaelite models, Fanny Cornforth (1835–1909), sat in the 1860s. She is shown in a ‘boudoir’ pose with unbound hair and low-cut gown and holds a rose provocatively to her lips. The title Belcolore is the name of a ‘buxom country wench’ in the Decameron by the fourteenth-century Italian writer, Giovanni Boccaccio.
