In The Religion of Humanity: The Impact of Comtean Positivism on Victorian Britain T.R. Wright observed that “the inner struggles of many of [Comte's] English disciples, so amply documented in their note books, letters, and diaries, have not so far received the close sympathetic treatment they deserve.” Material from a previously little known and un-researched archive of the Lushington family now makes possible such a study.

DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI AS DISEGNATORE: HESTERNA ROSA, FOUND, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ HAMLET AND OPHELIA, AND MARY MAGDALENE AT THE DOOR OF SIMON THE ​ ​ PHARISEE D.M.R. BENTLEY He showed me many designs for pictures: they tossed about everywhere in the room; the floor at one end of the room was covered with them, and with books… He taught me to have no fear or shame of my own ideas, to design perpetually. — Edward Burne-Jones remembering Dante Rossetti (qtd in Georgiana Burne-Jones 1:130, 149) In its entries for “design” as a noun and as a verb, the Oxford English Dictionary traces the ​ origin of the word in both lexical categories to the Renaissance Italian disegno and its cognates, ​ which denote activities and their outcomes that are both representational and intellectual: to design or to make a design is to realize a rational concept (plot, purpose, intention) in a visual form that is often preliminary to a final image. In Painting and Experience in Fifteenth-Century ​ Italy, Michael Baxandall further clarifies the meaning of disegno with reference to Cennino ​ ​ Cennini’s Il Libro dell’Arte (1437), where it is associated with “pencil, lines, the representation ​ ​ of edges, [and] perspective” and distinguished from colorire and its associations (“brush, tones, ​ the representation of surfaces, [and] rilievo”) in a “dichotomy … [that] made drawings and ​ ​ painting … the ‘foundation of the art of painting’” as it would be “taught and … observed” for centuries to come in Europe (139-40).

    Pre-Raphaelites and the Book

    Pre-Raphaelites and the Book February 17 – August 4, 2013 National Gallery of Art Pre-Raphaelites and the Book Many artists of the Pre-Raphaelite circle were deeply engaged with integrating word and image throughout their lives. John Everett Millais and Edward Burne-Jones were sought-after illustrators, while Dante Gabriel Rossetti devoted himself to poetry and the visual arts in equal measure. Intensely attuned to the visual and the liter- ary, William Morris became a highly regarded poet and, in the last decade of his life, founded the Kelmscott Press to print books “with the hope of producing some which would have a definite claim to beauty.” He designed all aspects of the books — from typefaces and ornamental elements to layouts, where he often incorporated wood- engraved illustrations contributed by Burne-Jones.

  • Pre-Raphaelite Poetry

    Pre-Raphaelite Poetry

    Dr.Pem Prakash Pankaj Asst.Professor,English Dept Vanijya Mahavidyalaya,PU Mob-8210481859 [email protected] For B.A (English Hons.) Part-1/ English Alternative Part-1 (50 marks) PRE-RAPHAELITE POETRY The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (later known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner who formed a seven-member "Brotherhood" modelled in part on the Nazarene movement. The Brotherhood was only ever a loose association and their principles were shared by other artists of the time, including Ford Madox Brown, Arthur Hughes and Marie Spartali Stillman. Later followers of the principles of the Brotherhood included Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris and John William Waterhouse. Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB), founded in September 1848, is the most significant British artistic grouping of the nineteenth century. Its fundamental mission was to purify the art of its time by returning to the example of medieval and early Renaissance painting. Although the life of the brotherhood was short, the broad international movement it inspired, Pre-Raphaelitism, persisted into the twentieth century and profoundly influenced the aesthetic movement, symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. First to appear was Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849), in which passages of striking naturalism were situated within a complex symbolic composition. Already a published poet, Rossetti inscribed verse on the frame of his painting. In the following year, Millais's Christ in the House of His Parents (1850) was exhibited at the Royal Academy to an outraged critical reception.

    Painted Sermons: Explanatory Rhetoric and William Holman Hunt’S Inscribed Frames

    PAINTED SERMONS: EXPLANATORY RHETORIC AND WILLIAM HOLMAN HUNT’S INSCRIBED FRAMES Karen D. Rowe A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2005 Committee: Sue Carter, Advisor Catherine Cassara Graduate Faculty Representative Thomas Wymer Richard Gebhardt Bruce Edwards ii ABSTRACT Sue Carter, Advisor This study was undertaken to determine the rhetorical function of the verbal texts inscribed on the frames of the paintings of the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt. The nineteenth century expansion of the venues of rhetoric from spoken to written forms coupled with the growing interest in belle lettres created the possibility for the inscriptions to have a greater function than merely captioning the work. Visits were made to museums in the United States and Great Britain to ascertain which of Hunt’s paintings have inscribed frames. In addition, primary sources at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the British Library, London, were consulted to determine if the artist had recorded his design plans or stated any specific purpose for the inscriptions. Contemporary reviews and exhibition catalogs were also consulted at these libraries. In addition, secondary sources were examined for relevant discussions of Hunt’s works. It was concluded that the inscribed works fit the parameters of explanatory rhetoric, a form informational and didactic rather than persuasive in nature. The common nineteenth century venue for explanatory rhetoric was the pulpit, instructing converted parishioners about Church doctrines and their Christian duties. It was also concluded that this shift in rhetorical purpose was not new to the Victorian era, rather that there is a long history of explanatory rhetoric going back at least to Augustine.

    • Of course, their patrons, largely the middle-class themselves form different groups and each member of the PRB appealed to different types of buyers but together they created a stronger brand. In fact, they differed from a boy band as they created works that were bought independently. As well as their overall PRB brand each created an individual brand (sub-cognitive branding) that convinced the buyer they were making a wise investment. • Millais could be trusted as he was a born artist, an honest Englishman and made an ARA in 1853 and later RA (and President just before he died). • Hunt could be trusted as an investment as he was serious, had religious convictions and worked hard at everything he did. • Rossetti was a typical unreliable Romantic image of the artist so buying one of his paintings was a wise investment as you were buying the work of a ‘real artist’. 1 • The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) had only seven members but influenced many other artists. • Those most closely associated with the PRB were Ford Madox Brown (who was seven years older), Elizabeth Siddal (who died in 1862) and Walter Deverell (who died in 1854). • Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris were about five years younger. They met at Oxford and were influenced by Rossetti. I will discuss them more fully when I cover the Arts & Crafts Movement. • There were many other artists influenced by the PRB including, • John Brett, who was influenced by John Ruskin, • Arthur Hughes, a successful artist best known for April Love, • Henry Wallis, an artist who is best known for The Death of Chatterton (1856) and The Stonebreaker (1858), • William Dyce, who influenced the Pre-Raphaelites and whose Pegwell Bay is untypical but the most Pre-Raphaelite in style of his works.

    The paintings produced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood or PRB are today regarded as staid and irrelevant Victorian pictures. I will show that at the time there were controversial and even revolutionary. The brotherhood was founded in 1848, the year of revolutions across Europe. There was a very large Chartist meeting on 10th April in Kennington Common but luckily confrontation was avoided and the petition with six million signatures was handed in to Downing Street. House of Commons clerks estimated the true figure to be 1.9 million signatures and some joke signatures were publicized to undermine the credibility of the movement. John Everett Millais and Holman Hunt accompanied the crowd from Russell Square but at the Common they were careful to remain outside the rails. In September of that year they met in Millais’s parents house to form the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The term ‘brotherhood’ was later of concern to critics as it suggested anarchy and a revolution. 1 Top row, left to right: William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, (b. 1829 – d. 1896) John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, 1854, (1827-1910) William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1853, (1828-1882) Bottom row, left to right: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Thomas Woolner, 1852 (1825-1892, sculptor and poet), National Portrait Gallery James Collinson, self-portrait, undated (1825-1881, only 1848-50, a devout Christian who resigned when Millais painted Christ in the House of His Parents) John Everett Millais, Frederic George Stephens (1828-1907, art critic) Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919, writer and art critic) Seven ‘Brothers’ • The three years 1849-1851 were an exceptional event in the history of art because rarely do you find a group of artists who set out to radically change the status quo and who take on the leading art establishment – the Royal Academy.
