Item description from seller

ix, 230 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 30 cm. Catalog of an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, Oct. 31, 2010-Jan. 30, 2011 and at the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Mar. 6-May 29, 2011. Summary:"As photography steadily gained a foothold in the 1840s, a group of British painters calling themselves the Pre-Raphaelites came of age. Answering John Ruskin's call to study nature, 'rejecting nothing, selecting nothing, and scorning nothing, ' these young painters were also spurred on by the possibilities of the new medium (introduced in 1839), particularly its ability to capture every nuance, every detail . This volume explores the rich dialogue between photography and painting through the themes of landscape, portraiture, literary and historical narratives and modern-life subjects. These artists - from photographers Lewis Carroll, Julia Margaret Cameron, Roger Fenton, Henry Peach Robinson and Oscar Gustave Rejlander, to such painters as John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John William Inchbold - not only had much in common, but also upended traditional approaches to making pictures."--Publisher's description.…
