  • PRE-RAPHAELITES: DRAWINGS and WATERCOLOURS Opening Spring 2021, (Dates to Be Announced)
    PRESS RELEASE 5 February 2021 for immediate release: PRE-RAPHAELITES: DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS Opening Spring 2021, (dates to be announced) Following the dramatic events of 2020 and significant re-scheduling of exhibition programmes, the Ashmolean is delighted to announce a new exhibition for spring 2021: Pre-Raphaelites: Drawings and Watercolours. With international loans prevented by safety and travel restrictions, the Ashmolean is hugely privileged to be able to draw on its superlative permanent collections. Few people have examined the large number of Pre-Raphaelite works on paper held in the Western Art Print Room. Even enthusiasts and scholars have rarely looked at more than a selection. This exhibition makes it possible to see a wide range of these fragile works together for the first time. They offer an intimate and rare glimpse into the world of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the artists associated with the movement. The exhibition includes works of extraordinary beauty, from the portraits they made of each other, studies for paintings and commissions, to subjects taken from history, literature and landscape. Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882) In 1848 seven young artists, including John Everett Millais, William The Day Dream, 1872–8 Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, resolved to rebel against the Pastel and black chalk on tinted paper, 104.8 academic teaching of the Royal Academy of Arts.

  • 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.

  • Jericho and the Pre-Raphaelites
    1 Jericho and the Pre-Raphaelites John William Waterhouse, The Lady of Shallot The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make. William Morris Few people are aware that the area of Oxford known as Jericho has a number of striking connections with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood which, as well as being the only British art movement to take on international significance, has claims to being the best-loved art movement of all. The Pre-Raphaelites' patron Thomas Combe, in company with his wife Martha, presided over what became a kind of "good-humoured salon" [Jon Whiteley, 'Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites', Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, 1989, p. 26] in Jericho at the Combe's residence in Walton Street and the existence of this Jericho base led to the creation of a series of memorable paintings which were first of all painted, then hung and exhibited in Jericho. In 1850 Combe, who was then printer to the university, came across John Everett 2 Millais in Botley Wood where, together with Charles Collins - Wilkie's brother - he was engaged in painting. Combe took an interest in what they were both doing and invited them back to Jericho for lunch. Millais and Collins declined the invitation on the grounds that they were too busy. However, undeterred, Combe sent them over a hamper of food on his return and this was how the relationship began - one which would establish Jericho as a stamping-ground for Collins and Millais, later to be followed by other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

  • The Evolution of the Ashmolean Natural History Society 1880-1901 M
    The evolution of the Ashmolean Natural History Society 1880-1901 M. Price Summary In 1880, a new scientific society, the Oxfordshire Natural History and Field Club was formed in Oxford. In 1901 this Society was amalgamated, for expedient reasons, with an Oxford University based society, The Ashmolean Society, founded in 1828. In 1901 the two societies were integrated and re-named, to become the current Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire. Introduction This article will focus on the background of the formation of the Oxfordshire Natural History and Field Club between 1880 and 1901 and the diverse nature of the people who were involved with its activities throughout its independent existence. It begins with an overview of the gradual changes taking place in the social and intellectual climate of mid-nineteenth-century Oxford. This will be followed by a brief account of the academic climate in Oxford and the nature of the ‘town and gown’ divide within its local societies. A prosopography of various individuals mentioned in the text will be found in Appendix 1. Further detail can be found in Price (2007). The Ashmolean Society and the Oxford Architectural and Historical Society (formed in 1839 as the Oxford Society for the Promotion of Gothic Architecture) were predominantly for the benefit of elected University members and rarely accessible to those outside its milieu. The foundation of the Oxfordshire Natural History and Field Club was the means by which a new scientific society was able to meet the needs of many individuals in the way that existing intellectual societies did not.

  • 20Th June 2020 Norma Jenns
    PICTURE OF THE WEEK 20th June 2020 Norma Jenns The Light of the World (1853) by William Holman Hunt (1827 – 1910) On one of my earliest visits to Oxford some thirty years ago, I toured the red-brick Keble College, named after John Keble, an English churchman and poet (1792 - 1866), one of the leaders of ‘The Oxford Movement’. This was a movement of High Church members of the Church of England, which developed into Anglo- Catholicism, from which many participants decided to convert to Roman Catholicism in the 1840s. A highlight of the College is its beautiful chapel and tucked away in a small side chapel I was amazed to find one of Oxford’s best kept secrets - the original painting of ‘The Light of the World” by Holman Hunt. I was surprised on several levels. First, the chapel was dark, gloomy and unattended. Second, when I picked up an information paddle it requested the visitor to switch on a light and, when I did, it illuminated the extraordinary painting. Third, I was taken aback when I saw that it had been donated to the college by ‘Mrs Thomas Combe’, because my maiden name was Combe and my father’s name was Thomas. Could I possibly be looking at an act of generosity from a famous ancestor? I let that little fantasy pass and went on to read that Martha Combe was the widow of Thomas Combe (1796 - 1872), an English printer and publisher. He was Printer to the University at Oxford University Press, and he was also part of ‘The Oxford Movement”.
