Talk details
This talk examines the themes and preoccupations of late Victorian art, a subject which has regained notice in recent years.
In Britain the work of many artists communicated the hopes and desires of a confident society at the height of its Imperial reach. We will look at depictions of the leisured middle class in the work of James Tissot, contrasted with paintings of the working poor by Luke Fildes and Hubert von Herkomer. We will examine the interactions between Classicism and Aestheticism, and the significance of the Whistler vs. Ruskin libel trial of 1878.
The talk will also focus on the work of Frederic Lord Leighton, John Everett Millais, John Singer Sargent, G.F. Watts and latter-day Pre-Raphaelites such as Evelyn De Morgan and Edward Burne-Jones.
Martin will provide a list of helpful books and links to further explore on a PDF following the talk via the blackboard.
