Présentation de l'éditeur

Encompassing the entire Victorian era, this exhibition catalogue charts the broad evolution of British draftsmanship and illustrates the new appreciation developed for the art of drawing from 1837 to 1901.

While inviting contemplation of artists operating within the Aesthetic Movement and the Arts and Crafts Movement, Beauty s Awakening highlights the work of Pre-Raphaelite artists, Edward Burne-Jones, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, as well as that of Academic champions Edward Poynter and Frederic Leighton. Through its range of subject matter, techniques and functions - from preparatory sketches to highly finished drawings intended as works of art in and of themselves this book expresses the richness, diversity and flair of Victorian draftsmanship as seen through the eyes of a discerning collector.

Richly illustrated with dozens of colour plates, the publication invites reflection on the careers of artists who are the geniuses of their time and whose works are an integral part of the renewal of interest in progressive Victorian art.
