Originally published in 2004. Once the most popular Victorian
artist, G. F. Watts was also a complex and elusive figure.
Influenced by evolutionary theory, he reinterpreted the tradition
of the classical body, while his philanthropic and educational
interests informed projects for a more affective public art. This
book is the first modern account of the full range of Watts's
different artistic interests and practices. Offering fresh
approaches to his historical, allegorical and mythological
paintings, it also traces his increasingly radical approach to
portraiture and sculpture and examines the institutional and
biographical factors behind his immense public profile. Together
the essays present a comprehensive analysis of Watts's work and his
vital relationship to the intellectual, cultural and social forces
of his time.
