Art history lecture series Nobles, knights and damozels: spotlighting Northampton Museum and Art Gallery’s pre-raphaelite collection

Northampton Museum And Art Gallery 4-6 Guildhall Rd,, Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

Interest in Pre-Raphaelite art has enjoyed something of a resurgence over recent years, with the National Portrait Gallery’s 2019 re-consideration of the contribution made by women and now Tate Britain’s exhibition re-evaluating the artistic legacy of three of the Rossettis. Our understanding of Pre-Raphaelite art is undergoing something of a paradigm shift. Using examples of works by eminent Pre-Raphaelites from the museum’s own collection, ProArtium will overlay new scholarship with popular favourites by Burne-Jones, Holman Hunt and others.
