Victorian Visions

This exhibition of 64 exquisite drawings and watercolors assembles signature works by Victorian artists, primarily from England, and examines the methods, meanings, and inspiration behind drawings and paintings of this era. Victorian Visions reflects the extraordinary range of styles found in this collection, which speaks to the complexity of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the versatility of its adherents. Some of the pieces are careful portraits of recognizable individuals, while others are fleeting sensory images or idealized impressions of people and landscapes. The exhibition includes a unique combination of works that were completed for sale, as well as studies for larger oil paintings. Artists in this exhibition include Sir Edward Burne-Jones, Sir William Morris, William Burges, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Sir Edward Poynter. Victorian Visions has been shown in Cardiff (Wales) and Finland’s Helsinki City Art Museum.
