Drawings and watercolours were essential to developing and sharing the Pre-Raphaelites’ closer way of looking, as explored in BP Spotlight: Pre-Raphalite works on paper. The preparatory sketches and more finished works on paper on view in this room explore personal dramas, tense and tender encounters sometimes in private settings.
This BSL tour will talk a closer look at how these detailed studies reveal another kind of close encounter between artist and subject: the long, intimate observation that underpinned Pre-Raphaelite ‘truth to nature’.
This tour is delivered in British Sign Language by guide John Wilson with voiceover interpretation. Hearing loops and amplifiers are available.
