  • Simeon Solomon and the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
    VISIONS OF LOVE: SIMEON SOLOMON AND THE HYPNEROTOMACHIA POLIPHILI D.M.R. Bentley When Simeon Solomon met his “idol” Dante Gabriel Rossetti “early in 1858” and began working in Rossetti’s studio (Reynolds 7), he entered an artistic circle whose influence on his work was marked enough for it to be considered Pre-Raphaelite. Prior to meeting Rossetti, Solomon had made only a few drawings that show the influence of Pre-Raphaelitism, most notably Faust and Marguerite (1856) and Eight Scenes from the Story of David and Jonathan (1856), but he would soon become in all things Pre-Raphaelite. 1 Love (1858) and The Death of Sir Galahad While Taking a Portion of the Holy Grail Administered by Joseph of Arimathea (1857-59) are Pre- Raphaelite in manner and subject-matter, while Nathan Reproving Daniel (1859), Babylon Hath Been a Golden Cup (1859), Erinna Taken from Sappho (1865), The Bride, Bridegroom and Sad Love (1865), and other works of the late 1850s and early 1860s are Pre-Raphaelite in manner but bespeak, by turns, Solomon’s Jewish heritage and his increasingly forthright homo- sexuality . Portrait of Edward Burne-Jones (1859) is an idealized portrait of the artist as a clear-eyed visionary, and Dante’s First Meeting with Beatrice (1859-63) is an homage to Rossetti that is so extreme in its imitativeness as to verge on parody. But did Solomon’s admiration of Rossetti and Burne- Jones include knowledge of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499), the book that was arguably as important to the “New Renaissance ” phase (Allingham 140) of Pre-Raphaelitism as was the Morte D’Arthur to its Oxford phase – and, moreover, identified by Rossetti as “the old Italian book ..

Fantasied images of women: representations of myths of the golden apples in “classic” Victorian Paintings This article proposes to examine the treatment of Greek myths of the golden apples in paintings by late-Victorian artists then categorized in contemporary reception as “classical” or “classic.” These terms recur in many reviews published in periodicals.1 The artists concerned were trained in the academic and neoclassical Continental tradition, and they turned to Antiquity for their forms and subjects.

  • BOOK REVIEW Modern Painters, Old Masters: the Art of Imitation From
    Tessa Kilgarriff 126 BOOK REVIEW Modern Painters, Old Masters: The Art of Imitation from the Pre-Raphaelites to the First World War, by Elizabeth Prettejohn (London: Yale University Press, 2017). 288 pp. Hardback, £45. Reviewed by Tessa Kilgarriff (University of Bristol) Visual allusion and the transhistorical relationship between works of art and their viewers form the subject of Elizabeth Prettejohn’s illuminating study, Modern Painters, Old Masters. The author proposes that the much-maligned term ‘imitation’ most accurately describes the practice by which artists and viewers form relationships with their counterparts in other historical eras. The book argues that ‘imitation’ came in two distinguishing categories during the period from the 1848 founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to the First World War: ‘competitive imitation’ (in which the artist attempts to transcend their predecessor) and ‘generous imitation’ (in which the artist faithfully copies the earlier model) (p. 15). In chapters on originality and imitation, on the influence of Jan van Eyck’s Portrait of (?) Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife (1434), on the Pre-Raphaelites’ discovery of early Renaissance painters, on Frederic Leighton’s debts to Spanish painting, and on the tension between making art and looking at it, Prettejohn asks fourteen key questions. The formulation and clarity of these questions is explained by the origins of the book, namely Prettejohn’s Paul Mellon Lectures given at the National Gallery in London and at the Yale Center for British Art in 2011. Prettejohn’s incisive questions stringently rebuff the notion that the significance of visual allusions, or references, is limited to identification.

  • DUTCH and ENGLISH PAINTINGS Seascape Gallery 1600 – 1850
    DUTCH AND ENGLISH PAINTINGS Seascape Gallery 1600 – 1850 The art and ship models in this station are devoted to the early Dutch and English seascape painters. The historical emphasis here explains the importance of the sea to these nations. Historical Overview: The Dutch: During the 17th century, the Netherlands emerged as one of the great maritime oriented empires. The Dutch Republic was born in 1579 with the signing of the Union of Utrecht by the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands. Two years later the United Provinces of the Netherlands declared their independence from the Spain. They formed a loose confederation as a representative body that met in The Hague where they decided on issues of taxation and defense. During their heyday, the Dutch enjoyed a worldwide empire, dominated international trade and built the strongest economy in Europe on the foundation of a powerful merchant class and a republican form of government. The Dutch economy was based on a mutually supportive industry of agriculture, fishing and international cargo trading. At their command was a huge navy and merchant fleet of fluyts, cargo ships specially designed to sail through the world, which controlled a large percentage of the international trade. In 1595 the first Dutch ships sailed for the East Indies. The Dutch East Indies Company (the VOC as it was known) was established in 1602 and competed directly with Spain and Portugal for the spices of the Far East and the Indian subcontinent. The success of the VOC encouraged the Dutch to expand to the Americas where they established colonies in Brazil, Curacao and the Virgin Islands.

This catalogue includes a wide range of British and European drawings, watercolours and oil sketches, placed more or less in chronological order, ranging in date from the 16th century to the first half of the 20th century. Although the areas of Old Master drawings, early British watercolours, 19th Century drawings and Modern drawings have long been regarded as disparate fields, each with their own enthusiasts, part of the purpose of this annual catalogue is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas.
