The Pre-Raphaelites and 19th-Century England's Other Visionaries: Fantasy Artists Ahead of Their Time? with Peter Trippi
- Sunday afternoon, July 22, 2012
The Allentown Art Museum - 31 North Fifth Street, Allentown, PA 18101
Many of the artists in At the Edge: Art of the Fantastic say they are inspired by the emotionally intense, highly detailed, and richly colored scenes created by Pre-Raphaelites from the 1840s onward. This talk with Peter Trippi reveals just how radical the visions of these passionate young men were in their time, and also draws a line backward from Rossetti, Millais, and Holman Hunt to the similarly charged compositions of such forerunners as Blake, Palmer, and Flaxman.

Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde
September 12, 2012 - January 13, 2013
Tate Britain - Millbank, London SW1P 4RG, England
In a stunning turnaround the Tate credits the Pre-Raphaelite Brother Hood as the fist Avante Gaurde movement. One cannot credit the Brotherhood without recognizing the other important movements of the period, all founded in the realist tradition with inspirations of their own. However, in this exhibition, which is sure to be spectacular, the Tate singles out the brotherhood to reflect upon their innovations in the field. It will be interesting to see whether or not this brings about more of an appreciation to the entire period and what 19th century painting was trying to attain. The Tate says the following:
Combining rebellion and revivalism, scientific precision and imaginative grandeur, the Pre-Raphaelites constitute Britain’s first modern art movement. This exhibition will bring together over 150 works in different media, including painting, sculpture, photography and the applied arts, revealing the Pre-Raphaelites to be advanced in their approach to every genre. Led by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) rebelled against the art establishment of the mid-nineteenth century, taking inspiration from early Renaissance painting. The exhibition will establish the PRB as an early example of the avant-garde: painters who self-consciously overturned orthodoxy and established a new benchmark for modern painting and design. It will include many famous Pre-Raphaelite works, and will also re-introduce some rarely seen masterpieces including Ford Madox Brown’s polemical Work 1852 1865 and Philip Webb and Burne-Jones’s The Prioress’s Tale wardrobe of 1858. The exhibition will show the Pre-Raphaelite environment to be widely encompassing in its reach across the fine and decorative arts, in response to a fast-changing religious and political backdrop, and in its relationship to women practitioners.

Viewing public auction presales is one of the best ways to see important works from a given period that are in private collections and are otherwise not on public view. Most if not all of these paintings are sold back into private collections and many are never put on public view again. Below are a list of some of the important upcoming and current presales.
(If the auction catalogue has not been published yet with pre-sale viewing dates, only the actual sale date is provided. The presale always takes place the immediate days leading up to the auction and the catalogue is usually published one month prior. Please stay tuned to this page for updates.)
