This book and the 1997 exhibition it portrays were assembled by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. From the medieval tendencies of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and other Pre-Raphaelites, to the classicism of Frederic Leighton and Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Victorian painting encompasses a broad range of subjects and styles. Features 225 illustrations, including 75 in color, with each color plate thoroughly discussed and biographies of each painter included. Includes many lesser-known but very deserving painters, such as George Clausen, Albert Moore, Stanhope Forbes, Von Herkomer, the superb George Frederic Watts and Richard Dadd. Very comprehensive and detailed. Superb reproductions entirely from original paintings.
