{"product_id":"9781781881811","title":"The Influence of Pre-Raphaelitism on Fin-de-Si cle Italy: Art, Beauty, and Culture","description":"This volume is the first comprehensive study of the influence of English Pre-\u003cbr\u003eRaphaelitism on Italian art and culture in the late nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003eAnalysis of the cultural relations between Italy and Britain has focused traditionally on the special place that Italy had in the British imagination, but the cultural and artistic exchanges between the two countries have been much misunderstood.\u003cbr\u003eThis book aims to correct this imbalance by placing Pre-Raphaelitism in its\u003cbr\u003eEuropean context. It explores the nature of its influence on Italy, how it was transmitted, and how it was manifested, by focusing on the role of Italian\u003cbr\u003eAnglophiles, the English communities in Florence and Rome, the writings of\u003cbr\u003eGabriele D'Annunzio, and a number of Italian artists active in Tuscany and\u003cbr\u003eRome.\u003cbr\u003eThe works of Cellini, Ricci, Gioja, De Carolis, and Sartorio in particular fully demonstrate the impact of Pre-Raphaelitism on the young Italian school of painting which found in the English movement an ideal link with its glorious past on which it could build a new artistic identity. These artists show that\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Pre-Raphaelitism was one of the most powerful single influences on fin de siècle Italian culture.","brand":"Modern Humanities Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037796450544,"sku":"9781781881811","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781781881811_p0.jpg?v=1763717506","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781781881811","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
