José Rafael ，

Too much Rossetti。

Carol S ，

Accessible introduction。 A joy to hold

Sandi ，

So， pleased I found this brilliant book。 Great source for someone who wants to deepen their knowledge of the Pre-Raphaelites。 The first half profiles the artists — John Everett Millais， Dante Gabriel Rossetti， William Holman Hunt， and other artists associated with the movement。 The second half is The Gallery。 Almost 300 images of Pre-Raphaelite paintings are included here structured around the movement’s different stages， starting with A New Aesthetic （1847-1854）， and ending with The final years So， pleased I found this brilliant book。 Great source for someone who wants to deepen their knowledge of the Pre-Raphaelites。 The first half profiles the artists — John Everett Millais， Dante Gabriel Rossetti， William Holman Hunt， and other artists associated with the movement。 The second half is The Gallery。 Almost 300 images of Pre-Raphaelite paintings are included here structured around the movement’s different stages， starting with A New Aesthetic （1847-1854）， and ending with The final years， after 1890。 A valuable and beautiful source book for the library。 。。。more

Hiç bilmediğim bir grup kardeşlik gönüllüsünü ve onların eserlerini inceleme şansı bulduğum için mutluyum。 İş Bankası yayınlarının bu serisi hakikaten çok iyi çevirileriyle devam ediyor。 Beklediğim ressamlar var bu seriden örneğin Raffael ne zaman çıkacak merakla bekliyorum。

The joy of this book is in the accompanying catalogue of pictures。 The information given at the start of the book is useful ， however， there are a few factual errors， and some editorial errors that really should have been picked up which really irked。 Most people who know me know that I am fascinated by the era， so this book， which was a gift， has made a good addition to my collection of PRB books。

Anna ，

Beautiful colour pictures and good brief overviews about the artists’ work and personal lives。 A very good introduction to the Pre Raphaelites。

Amelia ，

It was a bit irritating having to keep pausing when reading the earlier chapters to look up pieces that weren't pictured on the pages on which they were discussed， but were rather featured in the later "gallery" chapters。 Some images would have benefited from more page space too。 But， overall， a beautifully illustrated and high-quality book full of detailed information and anecdotes about a wide array of Pre-Raphaelite artists。 Exactly what I was hoping for when I picked it up。 It was a bit irritating having to keep pausing when reading the earlier chapters to look up pieces that weren't pictured on the pages on which they were discussed， but were rather featured in the later "gallery" chapters。 Some images would have benefited from more page space too。 But， overall， a beautifully illustrated and high-quality book full of detailed information and anecdotes about a wide array of Pre-Raphaelite artists。 Exactly what I was hoping for when I picked it up。 。。。more

Well， I now know that I prefer later art from this period than earlier， and that I really like WH Hunt's paintings of Egypt。 Well， I now know that I prefer later art from this period than earlier， and that I really like WH Hunt's paintings of Egypt。 。。。more

This book tries to cover a lot of territory， and it does so quite well as far as the text is concerned。 Unfortunately， the images were not very crisp， some appearing almost blurry， and many that had an overly reddish or greenish tone to them。
