Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology Department of Western Art Handbook: Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites

The Author: Jon Whiteley is Assistant Keeper in the Ashmolean Museum

Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites Handbook describes how the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement came to Oxford in the mid-nineteenth century and how their art was affected by the life of the University. The colour illustrations, which include most of the paintings and a number of the drawings of the Pre-Raphaelites in the Ashmolean and elsewhere in Oxford, trace the history of the movement from its origins in the 1840s to the end of the century.
