The painters of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood achieved a revolution in the way they portrayed the world. No previously published study has examined the innovative techniques that made this possible. Combining modern scientific research, including x-ray and infra-red technology, high level magnification and material analysis and commentary from the letters and diaries of the artists themselves, this book explores the methods behind the extraordinary masterpieces created by the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

Extensively illustrated this book includes previously unseen images and presents a unique opportunity for the reader to examine these paintings as closely as a conservator and to uncover the secrets of the Pre-Raphaelite painters.
