About 7 years ago, I was in London on business and had a day to myself. I spent most of it in the Royal Academy of Arts which was hosting an exhibit of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's collection of Pre-Raph art and artifacts.

It was incredible and almost too much to take in. The Rosetti and the Burne-Jones and the Waterhouse nearly brought me to my knees. What always amazes me about the Pre-Raphaelites is how strong the women are depicted - such an antithesis of the horrendous Victorian genre painting fashionable at that time.

AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY FLIST...I meet someone on a Monday...and by Thursday, we're discussing art.

Gah.

ZOMG. You saw the Lloyd Webber exhibition? I remember reading about that at the time! I was very sorry not to be able to make it. Augh, but it must have been amazing. I'm envious! But so glad that you were able to go!

Burne-Jones <3!

At times I question somewhat the idealisation of physical beauty in the female 'stunner', but then I look again at the strength of those women's features and the size and dominance of their forms within their respective compositions, and I'm thrilled all over again.

And now I want to drag out all of the available books and articles on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to re-read!

Did you get to the Burne-Jones exhibition at the Met in '98? It was incredible, too. They had some of the tapestries and all of the major works.

bzuhbuhhuh *redundant keyboard smash* NO. Ngah!

(I kind of fail as a Pre-Raphaelite fan, y/y?)

If I had a time machine--!

I have the Exhibition catalog, and if you would ever like to borrow it (and the Farscape DVDs for S1 and S2), all you have to do is ask.

Thank you so much for offering! I confess that I've just done a mad thing, however, and have purchased a used copy of the catalogue online. Sans dust jacket, alas, but otherwise in good condition. Also, affordable. (Whee!)

I'm sorted for Farscape through a close friend, but thanks also for offering to loan that as well!

My pleasure...

The catalog is fantastic...you'll definitely enjoy it.
