Pre -Raphaelites. Revolution in Victorian art. Tsiporkina I.V., Poznanskaya A.V.

Most people of the Victorian era seem to be time when life was limited by the rigid framework of the rules, decency, moral norms and indisputable dogmas. Meanwhile, it was a time of great changes in society and in the minds of people, and in art, new trends were reflected, which allowed humanity to finally live not only with the mind, but also with feelings. The initiator of the new vision of the world was the movement of pre -Raphaelites. Their works have made a coup in the minds of the British, formulated new methods of art and formed new mechanisms of aesthetic perception, thanks to which humanity saw Ar-Nuvo, Ar-Deco and Silver Age. Everyone who is interested, as it was, can read about the revolution in Victorian art in this book.

This book is devoted to a very important turn in the study of the history of art - “eternal topics of art” and consists of four large sections: “love”, “hero”, “man and nature”, “still life”. Each section is accompanied by color photographs of works from the collection of the Pushkin Museum.
