Pre-Raffaelitism Or, A Popular Enquiry Into Some Newly-Asserted Principles Connected With The Philosophy, Poetry, Religion And Revolution Of Art (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163103791)

Pre-Raffaelitism is a book written by Edward Young that explores the newly-asserted principles connected with the philosophy, poetry, religion, and revolution of art. The book delves into the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which was a group of English artists who aimed to reform art by rejecting the conventions of the Royal Academy and returning to the style of Italian art before Raphael. Young's book provides a popular inquiry into the principles of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, examining its connection to philosophy, poetry, religion, and revolution. He discusses the movement's emphasis on realism, attention to detail, and use of bright colors, as well as its rejection of the idealized figures and classical themes favored by the Royal Academy. The book also explores the impact of Pre-Raphaelitism on the wider art world, including its influence on the Arts and Crafts movement and the development of Art Nouveau. Young's writing is accessible to a general audience, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art and the Pre-Raphaelite movement in particular.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
