First published in 1999, this book asks what kind of advice was
available to somebody wishing to embark upon oil painting in
England between 1850 and 1900. It is a fascinating collection of
Victorian instruction on how and what to paint, linked to crucial
advice about art, its meaning and its relation to contemporary
life, given by practising artists, important and often popular in
their time, but whose lectures and writings are long overdue for
reappraisal: Leslie, Hamerton, O'Neil, Poynter, Watts, Leighton,
Armitage, Quilter and Herkomer. Here, beyond the familiar voices of
Ruskin, Whistler and Pater, we have a whole range of experience
from an age in which issues about painting were hotly debated by
large numbers of people: professional artists, amateurs, critics,
gallery-goers and Academy students. This anthology brings back to
life the humour, seriousness, ambitions, eccentricities and
controversies of people whose work shaped the nature of mainstream
Victorian art.
