Review: Breathtaking paintings and the author covers practically 99% of the era, my favorite sections are dealing with the painter Waterhouse and Lord Leighton, beautiful! I am definitely adding this to my collection of art books!

Summary: A Very Important Art Book
Review: Christopher Wood has done it again. No serious lover of art should be without this book, which contains many clear large images and well-written text.

It is a great companion of Lionel Lambourne's "Victorian Painting". They do NOT overlap each other but seems to work together filling in the gaps where one left off. If you love beautiful art, get them both, you wouldn't be disappointed. I wish there could be a lot more of books like these around.

Review: What a gorgeous book! I have a rather extensive collection of books on Victorian painting and painters, and this one is the best! Christopher Wood covers everything from the Pre-Raphaelites on through Waterhouse and the Romantics and on to the start of impressionism. It is full of beautiful color and B&W illustrations - many of which are not seen in other books of the same subject. The text is easy to read and understand. Very highly recommended!
