You have to love the Brotherhood!! Absolutely true – painting and poetry were sister arts in many eras. But Pre-Raphaelite paintings were PARTICULARLY inspired by literature. In fact I would say the paintings followed the literature, rather than the literature was written to accompany paintings.
This sounds wonderful unfortunately I live in Chester and not able to
walk very far re an operation
I’m sorry to hear that – hope you heal quickly. There will be some online aspects of the project, though, including an online exhibition, so there will be things you can enjoy from a distance!
Yes, absolutely. They had a very literary approach even when not literally painting from literature. I’m very excited about getting stuck into it!
