Resource person: Pam Petrie

Description:

In Great Britain in the middle of the nineteenth century a group of painters, sculptors and poets set out to revitalise the visual arts by reversing what they saw as an historical wrong turn made in the time of Raphael. In this course we'll explore what they meant by this idea through discussing their unique contributions in painting, comparing these with their historical precedents and also with contemporary developments in France.

Instructor: John Black has taught numerous art history courses for Elder College, and has a fondness for the Pre-Raphaelites sparked by paintings he encountered while growing up in north-west England.
