Victorian Taste in Art
Lydia Bauman explores ideas that preoccupied artists and critics of the period – the relationship between art and nature, questions of class and gender identity, the value of the handmade versus machine production, and the search for beauty in an age of industry – issues that remain relevant and actively debated today.
An overview of Victorian taste in paintings (“truth to nature” – “appropriateness of sentiment” and “morally healthy subject matter“) with Victorian painters such as LA Egg, Frith, Hicks, Landseer and those Pre Raphaelites who adhered to this- Millais and Holman Hunt.
