Drawing on a wealth of unpublished sketchbooks, journals, and
writings, this essential guide to John Brett (1831-1902)
investigates the painter who was seen as the leader of the
Pre-Raphaelite landscape school. In addition to exploring the
familiar early works, including The Val d'Aosta and Stonebreaker,
it provides rich information on his later, less-known coastal and
marine paintings. Brett's turbulent friendship with John Ruskin is
discussed, as are his relations with his beloved sister, Rosa, and
his partner Mary, with whom he had seven children. His fervent
interest in astronomy, his love of the sea, and his lifelong
pursuit of wealth and recognition are all examined in this
reassessment, which concludes with a catalogue raisonne of his
works, prepared by his descendent Charles Brett. Published for the
Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
