-- In the Victorian era, England -- swept along by the Industrial Revolution, the Pre-Raphaelite fold, William Morris, and the Arts and Crafts movement -- aspired to return to traditional values. Wishing to resurrect the pure and noble forms of the Italian Renaissance, a group of painters including John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, James Collinson, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Edward Burne-Jones, favoured Realism and Biblical themes.
-- This video is a trailer for Parkstone International's 'Pre-Raphaelites', containing a thorough collection of informed texts and rich illustrations. Enthusiastically describing this singular movement, the book offers the art that later on provided inspiration for Art Noveau and Symbolism.
