Pre-Raphaelite Paintings from Manchester City Art Galleries
註釋The Pre-Raphaelite collection at Manchester City Art Gallery, on which this book is based, consists of over 100 paintings and watercolours and includes such world-famous pictures as Ford Madox Brown's Work, Holman Hunt's The Hireling Shepherd and Shadow of Death, Millais' Autumn Leaves, and Rossetti's Astarte Syriaca. In addition to such well-known masterpieces, the Gallery has over the years acquired a host of other works so that the collection has become one of the foremost of its kind in the world. It provides a fairly complete survey of the movement and includes important groups of work by all the followers and associates. The text of this book stands on its own as a narrative describing the pictures against the development of Pre-Raphaelitism, so that the volume offers both a general history of the movement and a guide to the collection. - Back cover.
