Pre-Raphaelites

An art programme on ITV1 might be worth catching this evening: Perspectives: Andrew Lloyd Webber - A Passion for the Pre-Raphaelites at 10.15pm (title link). Andrew has been collecting the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood for over 40 years. He shows us his own collection as well as visiting art galleries all over Britain. I suspect he will concentrate on the founding fathers: William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, soon followed by William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner (CLICK). Above is John Everett Millais' masterpiece Christ In the House of His Parents (1850).
I've changed the title link, as the TV schedule is no longer relevant. It now takes you to a page which explains how the documentary was made.
