Book Overview

Ruskin, Rossetti, Preraphaelitism: Papers 1854 To 1862 is a collection of essays and articles written by William Michael Rossetti, an English writer and art critic, between 1854 and 1862. The book focuses on the Pre-Raphaelite movement, a group of artists who rejected the academic style of painting and sought to revive the purity of early Italian Renaissance art.The essays in this collection cover a wide range of topics related to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, including its origins, its major artists (such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais), and its relationship with other art movements of the time. The book also includes Rossetti's analysis of the writings of John Ruskin, a prominent art critic and supporter of the Pre-Raphaelites.Through his essays, Rossetti provides insight into the artistic and cultural context of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, as well as its impact on the art world of the 19th century.
