| Summary | "Dante Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Movement" by Esther Wood is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the broader context of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, focusing on their influence in art and the changing landscape of aesthetics in the 19th century. It presents an analysis of the movement's philosophical and ethical foundations, rather than solely its aesthetic achievements. The opening of the work introduces the significance of the Pre-Raphaelite movement within the context of 19th-century England, characterized by a revolt against established artistic conventions. It highlights Constable's prediction about the decline of English art, leading to a call for reform inspired by the Italian Renaissance. The chapter sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Rossetti's early life, his relationships with fellow artists, and the ethical motivations that underpinned the Pre-Raphaelite revolution. It emphasizes how this group sought to align art with the complexities of modern life, emphasizing emotional depth and a departure from mere imitation of classical forms.
