Quentin Bell, one of Britain's most distinguished critics and biographers, traces the development of nineteenth century English art from the early Victorian era until the age of post-impressionism.
He pays special attention to Pre-Raphaelism and to the Art Nouveau and his observations are generously illustrated with reproductions of the great masterpieces of the time. Both the layman and the scholar will find this an enlightening and diverting tribute to a great age.
