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 By the time of Victoria's accession to the throne this approach was coming to be seen as stale and outdated.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.
