{"product_id":"the-pre-raphaelites-and-science-john-holmes-9780300232066","title":"The Pre-Raphaelites and Science","description":"This revelatory book traces how the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and their close associates put scientific principles into practice across their painting, poetry, sculpture, and architecture. In their manifesto, \u003ci\u003eThe Germ\u003c\/i\u003e, the Pre-Raphaelites committed themselves to creating a new kind of art modeled on science, in which precise observation could lead to discoveries about nature and humanity. In Oxford and London, Victorian scientists and Pre-Raphaelite artists worked together to design and decorate natural history museums as temples to God's creation. At the same time, journals like \u003ci\u003eNature\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eFortnightly Review\u003c\/i\u003e combined natural science with Pre-Raphaelite art theory and poetry to find meaning and coherence within a worldview turned upside down by Darwin's theory of evolution. Offering reinterpretations of well-known works by John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, and William Morris, this major revaluation of the popular Victorian movement also considers less-familiar artists who were no less central to the Pre-Raphaelite project. These include William Michael Rossetti, Walter Deverell, James Collinson, John and Rosa Brett, John Lucas Tupper, and the O'Shea brothers, along with the architects Benjamin Woodward and Alfred Waterhouse. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300232063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300232066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Mellon Centre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018 pg. 69","brand":"John Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46880905756927,"sku":"9780300232066","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1396642-84b9-451b-afd5-cfea4584c58f.jpg?v=1747970078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pre-raphaelites-and-science-john-holmes-9780300232066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
