Containing a stunning array of romantic paintings, this book brings
together two important aspects of Victorian culture--the
Pre-Raphaelite movement and the meaning of flowers. Few artistic
movements capture classic notions of beauty as romantically as the
Pre-Raphaelites--a group of nineteenth-century painters and poets
who aimed to revive the purer art of the late medieval period. In
this beautiful volume, Debra N. Mancoff, an expert on
Pre-Raphaelite art and the floral lexicon, presents forty
breathtaking works, which illuminate the meaning of flowers in all
aspects of Victorian culture. She offers brief commentaries on
individual paintings as well as biographies of the period's leading
artists and their models. This book is both a romantic keepsake as
well as a captivating introduction to an artistic movement.
