Allen Staley's book The Pre-Raphaelite Landscape ignited a revival of interest in Pre-Raphaelite painting nearly three decades ago. Reintroducing the small group of young English artists who in 1848 founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, this landmark book helped to attract both scholars and a new generation of admirers to the brilliant and audacious work of the Pre-Raphaelites. In this completely revised and updated second edition, Staley takes into account important artworks that have recently come to light as well as current understandings of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its legacy. This lovely volume is greatly enhanced by more than 150 luminous colour illustrations. Ranging widely in this volume. Staley offers a comprehensive account of the formation of the Brotherhood, the artists' theoretical concerns about depictions of the natural world, and the emergence and impact of a school of Pre-Raphaelite landscape painting. Staley also discusses all the figures important to Pre-Raphaelitism: the artists (among them John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt), their associates (Ford Madox Brown, William Dyce), the landscape specialists they influenced (Thomas Seddon, George Price Boyce), and their most articulate supporter, John Ruskin

This is for the First Edition,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pre-Raphaelite Landscape (Studies in History of Art & Architecture) (Hardcover)
Customers, be aware that there are two editions of this book, with different number of pages, content and ISBN. I do not know why they are listed together. The first edition has only ten color plates (and not very good quality). If you order this edition (ISBN 0198173075), you won't get just a worn-out copy but something different.The new edition seems to be worthy of 5 stars, as it is profusely illustrated. I have deleted a previous review I made, as it was not clear enough.
