Publisher Description

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were severely criticized by reviewers for the minute surfaces of their paintings. While "finish" was an admired trait in genre painting in Victorian times, the PRB took realism to a level of almost migraine intensity. And, while other contemporary painters composed their canvases with areas of greater and lesser interest, the PRB painted the entire surface with the same level of detailed visuality. The result was a democratization of the overall surface of PRB Paintings, a leveling effect to which the contemporary press strongly objected. **********
