In this painting, begun in 1850 but not completed until 1872, Jane Morris, the wife of William Morris, was Rossetti's model. The Bower Meadow: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882). Proserpine: Also Proserpina, Persephone ; a daughter of Zeus and Demeter, abducted by Hades to be queen of Underground, but allowed to return to the surface of the earth for part of the year (she is also a personification of spring) Proserpine: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882). Oil on canvas, 1874 Although Lord Leighton of Stretton is more properly considered a neo-classicist and, as Rossetti said of him, "was wholly opposed to their (i.e., the Pre-Raphaelite credo of art) views", this painting reflects a strong Pre-Raphaelite influence, both in form, content, and execution, despite Leighton's imaginary posthumous denunciations to the contrary. "Flaming June" (46x46 inches) now resides in the Museo de Arte de Ponce, Puerto Rico. First exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1895. There is a crayon study for this painting at Leighton House; at least one other is known. The design of the picture was first intended as a decorative bas-relief for the marble bath on which the figure in his "Summer Studies" reclines. Leighton was suffering from his last illness while painting this picture, and he died in the following year. "Flaming June" was on loan to the Ashmolean between 1915 and 1930, but apparently disappeared. It was not publicly known again until its rediscovery in 1963.

Prettejohn, Elizabeth (University of Plymouth), ed. After the Pre-Raphaelites: Art and Aestheticism in Victorian England Manchester University Press, 1999, 288 pp., 68 illus., ISBN (cloth) 0-7190-5405-2, £47, ISBN (paperback) 0-7190-5406-0, £16.99 Description: This volume is the first overview of parallel trends in the visual arts, including the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, James, McNeill Whistler, Edward Burne-Jones, Simeon Solomon, and Albert Moore among others. Victorian Aestheticism is reinterpreted here as a significant exploration of what it might mean to produce works of art in the modern world. The chapters address not only "art for art's sake" but linkages with the realms of science and morality. A major concern is the relationship between art and sexuality, from the experiments of the Rossetti circle in the 1860s to the male nude in late-Victorian sculpture. Both homosexual and heterosexual eroticism emerge as key issues in the artistic debates of the late-Victorian period. Search engine New Books in Nineteenth-Century British Studies home page

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was started in 1848 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt , as a reaction against what they saw as the stale, formula-driven art produced by the Royal Academy at the time. They aimed to go back to a more genuine art, exemplified as they saw it by the work of the Nazarenes, and rooted in realism and truth to nature. Why the term "Pre-Raphaelite"? To quote from John Ruskin "We begin by telling the youth of fifteen or sixteen that Nature is full of faults, and that he is to improve her; but that Raphael is perfection, and that the more he copies Raphael the better; that after much copying of Raphael, he is to try what he can do himself in a Raphaelesque, but yet original manner: that is to say, he is to try to do something very clever, all out of his own head, but yet this clever something is to be properly subjected to Raphaelesque rules, is to have a principal light occupying one seventh of its space, and a principal shadow occupying one third of the same; that no two people's heads in the picture are to be turned the same way, and that all the personages represented are to have ideal beauty of the highest order..." It was in reaction to this misdirected worship of Raphael that the Pre-Raphaelites may have taken their name. Their ideas were that for every scene a real unidealised landscape or interior should be painted, that every figure should be based on a real model with their real proportions, that the figures should be grouped without reference to any artistic arrangement, and that they should paint worthy subjects. That is to say, as Ruskin had it, to avoid

"We cannot censure at present as amply or as strongly as we desire to do, that strange disorder of the mind or the eyes, which continues to rage with unabated absurdity among a class of juvenile artists who style themselves PRB." The Times, 1851 What were the Pre-Raphaelites? In 1848 in England, a group of young painters got together and decided that they had their own idea of what a painting should be. Thus, in rebellion to The Royal Academy, they formed this secret society called The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB). Who were these young daring painters? Dante Gabriel Rossetti (age 20) led the group that included Sir John Everett Millais (19), and William Holman Hunt (21). Later, many artists followed the style set by the Pre-Raphaelites although they were not members of the brotherhood. Some of those artists who gained Pre-Raphaelite popularity are Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, Frederic Lord Leighton, Ford Madox Brown, and John William Waterhouse. Although the Brotherhood was meant to be a secret, four others were later invited to join. These included Thomas Woolner (sculptor), James Collinson (painter), William Michael Rossetti (writer), and Frederick George Stephens (writer). What were they trying to do?

Museums with Pre-Raphaelite Paintings The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848 by a group of English painters: Dante Gabriel Rossetti John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt , as well as poets and critics: William Michael Rossetti, an art critic and Dante's younger brother; the art critic Frederic George Stephens; the painter James Collinson; and the sculptor and poet Thomas Woolner . Millais left the group in 1859, but as the second generation Pre-Raphaelites, other English artists joined it, including the painter Edward Coley Burne-Jones ; the poet and artist William Morris was never a Pre-Raphaelite in the true conception of the term. The group reacted against the Victorian materialism and the conventions of the Royal Academy in London and was inspired by medieval and early Renaissance painters up to and including the Italian painter Raphael. They found their inspiration at first from the bible, history and poems, but soon the subjects from modern life were also used rooted in realism and truth to nature. Pre-Raphaelite art became distinctive for its blend of archaic, romantic, and moralistic qualities.

Dalziel's Bible Gallery (1881) drew together the preraphaelites with Classicistssuch which in turn inspired the young Aubrey Beardsley's art nouveau pictures http://www.speel.demon.co.uk/other/prbillus.htm

Pre-Raphaelites and Illustration John Everett Millais The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had a very important impact on book illustration from the middle of the 19th Century. This was not because of the number of illustrations that they produced, which was not large, but because they raised the craft of illustration to high art, and gave an inspiration to generations of future illustrators, some of whom continued to draw in the Pre-Raphaelite style long after painting had moved in other directions. The startling drawings of Rossetti Millais and Holman Hunt first appeared in Allingham's The Music Master , in the Moxon Tennyson and in Willmott's Poets of the Nineteenth Century Holman Hunt Arthur Hughes made evocative pictures for children's stories such as MacDonald's At the Back of the North Wind (1871), and in the 1860s Simeon Solomon , another Pre-Raphaelite artist, drew pictures of Jewish life in a mysterious, almost impressionistic fashion. Frederick Sandys was a close follower of the Pre-Raphaelites whose strong draughtsmanship made him especially effective in woodcut illustration. Arthur Hughes Simeon Solomon Dalziel's Bible Gallery (1881) drew together the Pre-Raphaelites with Classicists such as Leighton Watts and Poynter Walter Crane , strongly influenced by Rossetti and by the Classicists, illustrated toy books in the 1860s-1880s in black and white and colour, and has been popular ever since.

RUSKIN, TURNER AND THE PRE-RAPHAELITES Tate Britain March 9 to May 28, 2000 Portrait of the Critic as a Young Artist "John Ruskin" by Sir John Everett Millais, oil on canvas, 78.7 by 68 centimeters, private collection By Michele Leight Connoisseurs and artists are different, usually. The former take delight in the work of others and the latter take delight in their own work, generally. Most people would prefer to be known as an artist rather than merely as a connoisseur, but without connoisseurs most artists would be lost. John Ruskin, the world’s foremost art critic in the mid- and late-19th Century, was a connoisseur and an artist. Although best known for his controversial libel trial with Whistler and for his promotion of the work of Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites, Ruskin was a very influential writer on architecture whose advocacy of preservation and public exposure to the arts and "adult education" were highly important. In the current age of multi-culturalism and "political correctness," Ruskin’s "elitist" views might still seem controversial to some, but his fervor and oeuvre, both literary and artistic, is in no way diminished. While his contributions to English heritage are magnificent and very impressive, his life’s interests, goals, and achievements are of exceeding interest to everyone in love with art, architecture, and the notion of beauty. Moreover, his is a fascinating story of how even the most brilliant observers can have blind spots and how even powerful and influential men can have strange love lifes.
