Extractions: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848 by a group of English painters: Dante Gabriel Rossetti John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt , as well as poets and critics: William Michael Rossetti, an art critic and Dante's younger brother; the art critic Frederic George Stephens; the painter James Collinson; and the sculptor and poet Thomas Woolner . Millais left the group in 1859, but as the second generation Pre-Raphaelites, other English artists joined it, including the painter Edward Coley Burne-Jones ; the poet and artist William Morris was never a Pre-Raphaelite in the true conception of the term. The group reacted against the Victorian materialism and the conventions of the Royal Academy in London and was inspired by medieval and early Renaissance painters up to and including the Italian painter Raphael. They found their inspiration at first from the bible, history and poems, but soon the subjects from modern life were also used rooted in realism and truth to nature. Pre-Raphaelite art became distinctive for its blend of archaic, romantic, and moralistic qualities.

A teacher of English, specialist in the history of tapestry-weaving and curator of the New Acquisitions Department of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, she is completing a doctorate at St. Petersburg State University with a dissertation on The Traditions of Medieval Tapestry Weaving and the Tapestry Revival: William Morris Ms. Matyukhina, who has contributed generously to the Society websites collection of Russian texts, also spoke about "William Morris and Tapestry Weaving: The View from Russia" at the Morris in the 21st Century Conference in London last July. Her article on "The Adoration Tapestry" appeared in the last Newsletter , and the present issue includes her review of David Mabbs current exhibition of his work in Lithuania. Currently at work on a new half-year course on Morris to be taught in the fall, she plans to use her award to do more research into Morris and Co. tapestries in Oxford, Cambridge and Birmingham this summer. Next year we hope to expand the potential scope of our awards to include a possible prize for translation, described more closely below. Most of Morris literary works have never been translated into major languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Swahili or Hindi.

Extractions: Manchester City Art Gallery oil painting âUsing a canvas which already bore a landscape background painted in the company of Hunt at Sevenoaks, Kent, in 1850. . .âhis only attempt at the Pre-Raphaelite outdoor methodâRossetti devised a clever composition, balancing seated and dancing female figures in a rhythmic harmony of complementary reds and greens. An early study in pen and ink . . . shows a winged child between the two musicians, holding a bird. This may suggest a more symbolic concept of music, earthly and heavenly, and perhaps by implication also of love, human and divine. . . . The figure running across the distant meadow strikes an additionally enigmatic noteâ ( Wildman

Extractions: Pre-Raphaelite Stunner, Muse, and Painter. Marie Spartali was born into the wealthy, cultured, and sophisticated Greek community of London. As a young women she was trained by Maddox Brown, and modeled for Rossetti, whose influence was apparent in her own pictures, though it was later superseded by that of Burne-Jones. Marie Stillman was widely known as the 'other' great Pre-Raphaelite beauty, the comparison being with Jane Morris. W Graham Robertson in his wonderful book, 'Time Was,' wittily described her as 'Mrs Morris for beginners!' Maria Spartali married the American journalist William J Stillman in 1871. Stillman was, incidentally, the model for Merlin in the famous Burne-Jones painting ' The Beguiling of Merlin.' After their marriage the Stillmans lived in Florence, and then Rome. These absences abroad did not prevent Marie Stillman from exhibiting regularly at the Grosvenor Gallery. She often painted in watercolour, and her pictures are detailed, highly accomplished, and jewel-like, with a naive flat perspective. Many of her paintings are just quite simply beautiful. A remarkable woman.
