The Pre-Raphaelites and Science. NEW.

John Holmes.

At one time the Victorian avant garde, the Pre-Raphaelites pioneered a new kind of art modelled on contemporary science in which precise observation could lead to new discoveries about nature and humanity. New Zealand settler culture was imbued with this new aesthetic as its geology and natural history were scientifically documented and museums established. This work provides an extensive and beautifully illustrated account of the exciting impact of science on art and of art on science. A large book.
