Dante Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Movement by Esther Wood is a work of classic art history that is an absolute must read for anyone who loves art. This edition features dozens of full color paintings from the Pre-Raphaelite Movement, as well as cover art by Dante Rossetti.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, formed in 1848, was a group of young British painters who bonded over their frustration with the unimaginative and artificial historical paintings championed by the Royal Academy. Spearheaded by Dante Rossetti, these visionary young men sought to reinvigorate the arts by hearkening back to the themes of High Renaissance Italian art, before the work of Raphael shifted the tide. Their purpose was to achieve new moral purpose and sincerity in their works. Though the brotherhood lasted only five years, it had a huge impact on painting in Britain and the art world as a whole.
