F. G. Stephens

Samuel Palmer was one of the most original artists Britain has produced. Still a teen when he was plucked from "the pit of modern art," he embarked on an intensely personal journey that led to an astonishing outpouring of mystical drawings and later to England's first artistic colony, "The Ancients," based in the idyllic landscape of Shoreham. This book reprints the first major writings on Palmer, which were published for a retrospective exhibition in 1881. They include a biography by his son, A. H. Palmer, and a critical appreciation by Pre-Raphaelite artist and critic F. G. Stephens.

""Dante Gabriel Rossetti"" by F.G. Stephens is a comprehensive biography of the famous English poet and painter. The book delves into Rossetti's life, from his childhood and early artistic endeavors to his rise as a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and his later years as a prominent figure in the Victorian art world. The author explores Rossetti's artistic style and influences, as well as his personal relationships and struggles, including his tumultuous love affair with his muse and model, Elizabeth Siddal. The book also includes numerous illustrations of Rossetti's artwork, providing readers with a visual understanding of his creative vision.
