The Holland Park Circle: Artists and Victorian SocietyYale University Press, 1 gen 1999 - 303 pagine The reign of Queen Victoria witnessed a spectacular rise in the visibility, wealth, and prestige of English artists and designers. Leading this resurgence was a group of artists who established their studios in and around the district of London's Holland Park. This book is both an engrossing narrative of their lives, works, and influence and a perceptive analysis of the subtle relationships between high Victorian taste and mercantile values. |
