Overview
Pre-Raphaelitism is a book written by John Ruskin, a prominent art critic and social thinker of the 19th century. The book is a detailed analysis of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, an artistic movement that emerged in England in the mid-19th century. Ruskin was a strong supporter of the Pre-Raphaelites and believed that their art represented a return to the principles of medieval art, which he saw as pure and honest.In the book, Ruskin examines the origins of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, its key figures and their works, and its impact on the art world. He also discusses the philosophical and social ideas that underpinned the movement, such as a rejection of the industrialization and commercialization of art, and a desire to create art that was true to nature and the human experience.Throughout the book, Ruskin provides detailed analyses of specific Pre-Raphaelite works, including paintings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, and John Everett Millais. He also discusses the Pre-Raphaelite approach to subjects such as religion, mythology, and nature.Pre-Raphaelitism is considered a seminal work in the history of art criticism and a key text for understanding the Pre-Raphaelite movement. It remains widely read and influential today, particularly for its insights into the relationship between art, society, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
