Victorian painting refers to the distinctive styles Victorian Painting painting in the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria — Victoria's early reign was characterised by rapid industrial development and social and political change, which made the United Kingdom one of the most powerful and advanced nations in the world. Painting in the early years of her reign was dominated by the Royal Academy of Arts and by the theories of its first president, Joshua Reynolds. Reynolds and the academy were strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance painter Raphaeland believed that it was the role of an artist to make the subject of their work appear as noble and idealised as possible. This had proved a successful approach for artists in the pre-industrial period, where the main subjects of artistic commissions were portraits of the nobility and military Victorian Painting historical scenes. By the time of Victoria's accession to the throne this approach was coming to be seen as stale and outdated. The rise of the wealthy middle class had changed the art market, and a generation who had grown up in an industrial age believed in the importance of accuracy and attention to detail, and that the role of art was to reflect the world, not to idealise it. In the late s Victorian Painting early s, a group of young art students formed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood as a reaction against the teaching Victorian Painting the Royal Academy. Their works were based on painting as Victorian Painting as possible from nature when able, and when painting imaginary scenes to ensure they showed as closely as possible the scene as it would have appeared, rather than distorting the subject of the painting to make it appear noble. They also felt that it was the role of the artist to tell moral lessons, and chose subjects which would Victorian Painting been understood as morality tales by the audiences of the time. They were particularly fascinated by recent scientific advances which Victorian Painting to disprove the biblical chronologyas they related to the scientists' attention to detail and willingness to challenge their own existing beliefs. Although the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was relatively short-lived, their ideas were highly influential. The Franco-Prussian War of led to a number of influential French Impressionist artists moving to London, bringing with them new styles of Victorian Painting. At the same time, a severe economic depression and the increasing spread of mechanisation made Victorian Painting cities an increasingly unpleasant place to live, and artists turned against the emphasis on reflecting reality. A new generation of painters and writers known as the aesthetic movement felt that the domination of art buying by the poorly-educated Victorian Painting class, and the Pre-Raphaelite emphasis on reflecting the reality of an ugly Victorian Painting, was leading to a decline in the quality of painting. The aesthetic movement concentrated on creating works depicting beauty and noble deeds, as a distraction Victorian Painting the unpleasantness of reality. As the quality of life in Britain continued to deteriorate, many artists turned to painting scenes from the pre-industrial past, while many artists within the aesthetic movement, regardless of their own religious beliefs, painted religious art as it gave them a reason to paint idealised scenes and portraits and to ignore the ugliness and uncertainty of reality. The Victorian age ended inby which time many of the most prominent Victorian artists had already died. In the early 20th century the Victorian attitudes Victorian Painting arts became extremely unpopular. The modernist movement, which came to dominate British art, was drawn from European traditions and had little connection with 19th-century British works. Because Victorian painters had generally been extremely hostile towards these European traditions, they were mocked or ignored by modernist painters and critics in the first half of the 20th century. In the s some Pre-Raphaelite works came back into fashion amongst elements Victorian Painting the s counterculturewho saw them as a predecessor of s trends. A series of exhibitions in the s and s further restored their reputation, Victorian Painting a major exhibit of Pre-Raphaelite work in was one of the most commercially successful exhibitions in the Tate Gallery 's history. While Pre-Raphaelite art enjoyed a return to popularity, non-Pre-Raphaelite Victorian painting remains generally unfashionable, and the lack of any significant collections in the United States Victorian Painting restricted wider knowledge of it. When the year-old Alexandrina Victoria inherited the throne of the Victorian Painting Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as Queen Victoria inthe country had enjoyed unbroken peace since the final victory over Napoleon Victorian Painting While Britain's economy had traditionally been dominated by the landowning aristocracy of the countryside, the Industrial Revolution and political reforms had greatly reduced their Victorian Painting, and created a booming middle class of merchants, manufacturers and engineers in Victorian Painting and the industrial cities of the north. British painting had been strongly influenced by Joshua Reynolds —the first president of the Royal Academy of Artswho believed that the purpose of art was "to Victorian Painting and represent their subjects in a poetical manner, not confined to mere matter of fact", and that artists should Victorian Painting to emulate the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael in making their subjects appear as close to perfection as possible. By the time of Victoria's accession the Royal Academy dominated British art, with the annual Royal Academy Summer Exhibition the most important event in the arts world. John Ruskin 's seminal Modern Paintersthe first volume of which was published inargued that it was the purpose of art to represent the world and allow the viewer Victorian Painting form their own opinions of the subject, not to idealise it. In painter Richard Dadd and a group of friends formed The Cliquea group of artists rejecting the Academy's tradition of historical subjects and portraiture in favour of populist genre painting. At the time of Victoria's accession, the most significant living British artist was J. Turner had made his Victorian Painting in the late 18th century with a series of well-regarded landscape watercolours, Victorian Painting exhibited his first oil painting in The first volume of Ruskin's Modern Painters was a defence of Turner, arguing that Turner's greatness had developed despite, not because of, the influence of Reynolds and a consequent desire to idealise the subjects of his paintings. By the s, Turner was drifting out of fashion. Despite Ruskin's defence of Victorian Painting work as being Victorian Painting "an entire transcript of the whole system of nature", [15] Turner who by had become Victorian Painting eldest Academician and deputy president of the Royal Academy [18] had come to Victorian Painting seen by younger artists to embody bombast and wilfulness, and to be a product of an earlier, Romantic period out of touch with the modern age. The PRB rejected the ideas of Victorian Painting Reynolds, and had a philosophy based on working from nature as accurately as possible wherever possible, and when it was necessary to paint from imagination to strive to show the event as it most likely would have happened, not in the way that would appear most attractive or Victorian Painting. The PRB took their inspiration Victorian Painting scientific exhibitions, and felt this scientific approach was in itself an instrument of moral good. Flowers could be used in almost any scene, they could be used to convey messages in the then-popular language of flowersand accurately illustrating them showed the artist's dedication to scientific accuracy. The Victorian Painting age was characterised by rapid scientific advance, and by rapidly changing attitudes Victorian Painting religion as advances in geology, astronomy and chemistry disproved the biblical chronology. The PRB found these advances fascinating, based as they were in attention to detail and a willingness to challenge existing beliefs on Victorian Painting basis of observed fact. PRB founder William Holman Hunt led a revolution in English religious art, visiting the Holy Land and studying archaeological evidence Victorian Painting the clothing and appearance of local people to paint biblical scenes as accurately as possible. By the PRB had Victorian Painting as an organisation, but their style continued to dominate British painting. Painting remained a field dominated by male artists at this time. In a petition by 38 female artists was circulated to all Royal Academicians requesting the opening of the Academy to women. Herford"; when the Academy accepted it, the Academy accepted her as its first female student in In Victorian Painting s, the Pre-Raphaelite movement splintered, with some of its adherents abandoning strict realism in favour of poetry and attractiveness. Particularly in the case of Rossetti, this tended to be embodied in paintings of women. Victorian Painting move towards depicting the effects of love became explicit in Venus Verticordia "Venus the turner of hearts"painted by Rossetti in the mids. She holds the Golden Apple of Discord and Cupid's arrowthought to be a reference to the Trojan War Victorian Painting the destructiveness of love. John Ruskin disliked the painting intensely. While it is now thought that his dislike of the painting was due to a dislike of the representation of the naked female form, [32] he claimed his issues with the painting were with the depiction Victorian Painting the flowers, writing to Rossetti to advise him that "They were wonderful to me, in their realism; awful—I can use no other word—in their coarseness: showing Victorian Painting power, showing certain conditions of non-sentiment which underlie all you are doing now". Since the time of George Stubbs —Britain has had a strong tradition of animal paintinga field which had gained respect owing to James Ward 's highly proficient animal paintings of the early 19th century. Landseer became well known for his paintings of the landscapes, people and particularly wildlife of Scotland, to the extent that his paintings, along with the novels of Sir Walter Scottbecame the primary means through which people in the rest of Victorian Painting United Kingdom came to picture Scotland. Landseer's The Old Shepherd's Chief Mournershowing a sheepdog sitting beside a coffin, was particularly well-regarded by John Ruskin, who described it as "a touching poem upon canvas, Victorian Painting, it cannot Victorian Painting doubted, has caused many a Victorian Painting heart to 'play the woman' by moving it to tears". In the s the Long Depression wrecked the economy and confidence of Britain, and the spirit of progress symbolised by the Great Exhibition began to fade, to the extent that in Victorian Painting. Chesterton described the Victorian Painting Palace as "the temple of a forgotten creed". Victorian Painting this background, a new generation of painters such as Frederic Leighton and James Abbott McNeill Whistler departed from Victorian Painting traditions of storytelling and moralising, painting works designed for aesthetic appeal rather than for their narrative or subject. Matters reached a head inwhen John Ruskin visited an exhibition of Whistler's Nocturne paintings at the Grosvenor Gallery. Whistler sued for libel, the case reaching the courts in Victorian Painting The Victorian Painting movementas Pater and his successors came to be known, became increasingly influential; it was championed by Whistler and Oscar Wilde and until his death in by former Pre-Raphaelite Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and was popularised with the public by the successful Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera Patience. The painters of the aesthetic movement prided themselves on their detachment from reality, working from studios and rarely mingling with the public. As the century progressed and the combination of mechanisation, economic decline, political chaos and religious faith made Britain an increasingly unpleasant place in which to live, the population increasingly came to look back to pre-industrial times as a golden age. As part of this trend, artists became drawn to pre-industrial subjects and techniques, and art buyers were particularly drawn to artists who could make connections between the present day and these idealised times such as to the Middle Ageswhich were seen as the period in which the key institutions of modern Britain had begun and which had been popularised in the public imagination by the novels of Sir Walter Scott. Against this background there arose a great fashion for paintings on mediaeval themes, particularly Arthurian legend and religious themes. Many of the most noteworthy artists of the period, particularly Victorian Painting the aesthetic movement, chose to work on such themes despite their lack of religious faith, as it gave a legitimate excuse to paint idealised figures and scenes and to avoid reflecting the reality of industrial Britain. While there had been fashions for historical paintings before in British Victorian Painting, that of the late 19th century was unique. In previous revivals, dating from the Renaissance to the late 18th century, the ancient world symbolised greatness, dynamism and virility. In contrast, the aesthetic movement and their followers sought to emulate the most passive and generally female works of the classical world, such as the Venus de Milo. Not all members of the aesthetic movement subscribed to the backlash against the present in favour of an idealised past. Whistler, in particular, was scathing of this view, dismissing the sentiment as "this lifting of the brow in deprecation of the present—this pathos in Victorian Painting to the past". Even among artists who did not paint pictures of the past, the influence of the backlash against modernity often had an effect. In landscape painting in particular, artists generally abandoned the effort to Victorian Painting realistic depictions of views, and instead focused on effects of lighting, and on the capturing of elements of the pre-industrial countryside that they felt were likely to be destroyed. This spread of French techniques was viewed with deep scepticism by the preceding generation of painters. British painters had historically prided themselves on each having a distinct and easily recognisable style, and viewed French and French-influenced painters as being unduly similar to each other in style, and as John Everett Millais said "content to lose their identity in their imitation of their French masters". The opening of the Tate Gallery inopened to display sugar merchant Sir Henry Tate 's collection of Victorian art, proved the last triumph of Victorian painting. In the s, Victorian styles of art and literature fell dramatically out of fashion in Britain, and by the word " Victorian " had become a derogatory term. Throughout the 20th century the work of the Victorian Painting French impressionists and post-impressionists rose in value and importance. Because the Pre-Raphaelites and the members of the aesthetic movement, who between them had dominated Victorian painting, had united in the late 19th century in condemnation of French influence and the perceived laziness and insignificance of impressionism and post-impressionism, they were mocked or dismissed by many modernist painters and critics in the first half of the 20th century. In the s William Gaunt 's The Pre-Raphaelite Tragedycoupled with a general desire during wartime to celebrate the achievements of British culture, led to a revival of interest in Victorian Painting art. A major exhibition in —52 at the Royal Academy of ArtsThe First Hundred Years of the Royal Academy — brought a number of British works from the 19th century to a wider audience, [76] but the general opinion of Victorian art remained low. In the s some aspects of Victorian art became popular in the s countercultureas Pre-Raphaelitism in particular began to be seen as a precursor of Pop art and other contemporary trends. Non-Pre-Raphaelite Victorian Victorian Painting mainly remained unfashionable. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Main article: J. The Fighting Temeraire. Rain, Steam and Speed.

Oscar Wilde speaks Victorian Painting his theories of beauty to a Victorian Painting of admirers, while John Everett Millais and Anthony Trollope ignore Victorian Painting. His career spanned the entire Victorian period, with his Victorian Painting public exhibit in and his last in In Rossetti repainted it, replacing the original face with a portrait of Alexa Wilding. He was elected a full Royal Academician at the age of Chestertonin his biography of Watts, attempted to describe the attitudes of artists who felt themselves surrounded by ugliness, in a culture in which the religious and political systems had been thrown into turmoil by scientific and social developments. Men were, in the main, agnostics: they said, "We do not know"; but not one of them ever ventured to say, "We do not care. But these men restrained themselves more than hermits for a hope that was more than half hopeless, and sacrificed hope itself for a liberty which they Victorian Painting not enjoy; Victorian Painting were rebels without deliverance and saints without reward. There may have been and there was something arid and over-pompous about them: a newer Victorian Painting gayer philosophy may be passing before us and changing many things for the better; but we shall not easily see any nobler race of men. And its supreme and acute difference from most periods of scepticism, from the later Renaissance, from the Restoration and from the hedonism Victorian Painting our own time was this, that when the creeds crumbled and the gods seemed to break up and vanish, it did not fall back, as we do, on things yet more solid and definite, upon art and wine and high finance and industrial efficiency and vices. It fell in love with abstractions and became enamoured of great and desolate words. Despite his lack of faith, he painted Christian themes throughout his life and was in high demand from the Church of England as Victorian Painting designer of stained glass windows.
