Nice to see I lured you in here and greetings also!<br /><br />Serenatrowbridge, It seems that no matter how much I read into the Pre-Raphaelites I never get definitive answers for my questions. Ruskin was a big help but maybe I need to read more on him.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-18361623144191088972010-03-15T10:47:17.135-07:002010-03-15T10:47:17.135-07:00This is interesting - I hadn't seen the Nation...This is interesting - I hadn't seen the National Museums Liverpool "guidelines". It's so difficult to decide where Pre-Raphaelitism begins and ends, I suppose: the original Brotherhood had 6 members, (not including the fictional Fred Walters added by the Desperate Romantics TV series!) and then there was second-wave PR-ism - Morris, Burne-Jones, etc. Yet there were so many artists associated with them or painting in their style that it is difficult to decide sometimes whether paintings are generally Pre-Raphaelite, or "after" the PRB. I always thought that Ruskin's comments provide some of the best guides to PR-ism - "truth to nature" and all that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-42618783402907618302010-03-15T04:46:40.932-07:002010-03-15T04:46:40.932-07:00Pre- Raphaelites are fascinating , I love this sty...Pre- Raphaelites are fascinating , I love this style of painting.I have read great books about them Pre- Raphaelites painters, my favorite being a very interesting bio of Lizzie Siddal by Lucinda Hawksley.<br />"Pre- Raphaelites in Love " by Gay Daly was nice as well."Pre- Raphaelite Sisterhood" by Jan Marsh is on my shelves as well.And some more.....<br />There is a very nice piece of fiction(a genealogical mystery )revolving around the Pre -Raphaelites :"Pale as the Dead" by Fiona Mountain.<br />And for thoses who read french :<br />"Autumn" by Phillipe Delerm about the tragic love story between DG Rossetti and L.Siddal.I don't think it was translated in English, I will have to check anyways.<br />I am a recent follower and I enjoy reading your blog very much !<br />Greetings from France, VirginieVirginie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470313774780058321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-29500643868803211612010-03-14T20:13:45.843-07:002010-03-14T20:13:45.843-07:00Kristin, A big Historical Fiction welcome!

My all time favorite PG novel is The Queens Fool because Robert Dudley is my favorite.<br /><br />Thank you for the Award, I will swing by.<br /> <br />Bookventures, I am an avid art lover and an artist myself. It is one of the special things in my life because I enjoy it.<br /><br />Hannah, I agree I did find that there really is not a period limit on it. You are right to on the point that other artist influence other artist. I know that if I see other peoples art it just makes things in my mind click of "oh that is how you do it". Very thoughtful comment Hannah and eloquently stated.<br /><br />Thank you Pat I am glad you enjoyed this Sundays Lesson, I had to get it out.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-32056974062677832132010-03-14T19:44:29.265-07:002010-03-14T19:44:29.265-07:00Thanks for the mini art lesson.Thanks for the mini art lesson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-44641177032566992792010-03-14T14:55:21.256-07:002010-03-14T14:55:21.256-07:00Very interesting - thank you for sharing this. I a...Very interesting - thank you for sharing this. I am fascinated that they did not simply limit it by period or by artist eg if a painting was not by one of a set of artists in a given period then it is not pre raphellite - but I guess that this is such a restrictive way of looking at groups of artists - because it is always possible - in some cases pretty likely that artists have been influenced by a group - and are thus producing similar work - without the core member of the group knowing about it - and without necessarily being acknowledged by history. <br /><br />Great post - thoughtful and interesting - <br /><br />thanks very much<br /><br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-18464718949119872062010-03-14T12:13:24.222-07:002010-03-14T12:13:24.222-07:00hmmm, sounds interesting.
