| This exhibition
is devoted to the revolutionary approach to landscape painting introduced
to Britain in the 1850s by a group of young artists known as the
Pre-Raphaelites. It shows how the landscapes of John Everett
Millais, William Holman Hunt, Ford
Madox Brown and others were not only fired by a passion
for the natural world, but also deeply rooted in the scientific
and religious ideas of the day, and the theories of John Ruskin.
