- Find out more about the group of radical artists who called themselves the Pre-Raphaelites - their lives, their loves, their art - as you enjoy a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of the Ashmolean's spring 2021 Pre-Raphaelites exhibition.
From a sketch on the back of an envelope to grand, elaborate chalk drawings, our upcoming exhibition offers an opportunity to view our internationally-renowned collection of Pre-Raphaelite works on paper. Explore the enormous range of techniques and media used by the artists that made up this movement - as well as the intimate and often complex friendships and love affairs between them. Pe-Raphaelites: Drawings & Watercolours is open at the Ashmolean Museum 18 May - 20 June 2021 www.ashmolean.org/pre-raphaelites

A delightful presentation, thank you very much! It is now 2023 and, thank God, the worst of the Pandemic has gone away, but it
was quite intense and I can appreciate the effect it must have had on your museum. (As many other places). I truly enjoyed
watching and learning more about my favourite group of painters, the Pre-Raphaelites. I hope many people will get to see this
program, as you preserved a special moment in time for many more viewers to admire these works. I wish I could see them in
person. Many regards to you!
An eloquent and wonderful insight to the Pre-Raphaelite brother/sisterhood. Thank you for posting.
What words can explain that stir all our senses like a beautiful symphony. The Pre- Raphaelites love of beauty.
A beautiful film! Presented with such passion and in such clear and lovely language. Thank you!
The “talk” was nicely informative. Thanks to each of your group for all the work it took to share this lovely experience!
Thanks for sharing the latest of many useful videos here on youtube.
Excellent film of an amazing exhibition. For example, I am overwhelmed by John Ruskin's drawing "Study of Gneiss Rock" (starting at 29:28 in the video). What a strange, obsessive mind, to spend days and months on one drawing of a smallish chunk of rock... the result is breathtaking.
This film was absolutely brilliant, informative historically and artistically with artists I had only read about.Beautifully presented visually, many thanks to all the speakers. Ashmolean is a treasure.
Thank you all..for keeping these works..and for presenting them so beautifully..and for the fascinating narratives.
A great presentation! Thank you!
This is a whole new side of Pre-Raphaelitism which I've somehow never seen before (not an art scholar, just a fan!) 💗 I've seen many of the darkly, brightly, & boldly-coloured pieces of the movement, but the sepia & earth-toned pieces are entirely new to me! THANK YOU!!!
Absolutely lovely. Thank you !
Many thanks for taking the time to comment and enjoy the film.
I visited the exhibition on Saturday. It was a bit uncomfortable with a mask on but I’m so glad I was lucky enough to see it. Beautiful exhibition and really informative film. Thank you Ashmolean! 🌹
Thank you. A beautifully produced video, providing some important and essential background information on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood together with a stunning collection of sketches and drawings.I would mention also, that the artists enjoyed a great deal of support from various people and businesses around the Merseyside area. At age twelve I discovered the astonishing collection of Pre-Raphaelite work in the Lady Leverhume Art Gallery in the wonderful Port Sunlight Village, and was captured for life :)
As a Merton College alumnus, I spent many hours within the Ashmolean and it`s own collection of works, but alas, as I live on the other side of the world, will not see this exhibition with my own eyes - so this has been a marvelous video to find - many thanks indeed.
Bellissimo. Grazie!!!
Never to die these works
Many of these drawings and watercolours are known to me through reproductions. This video places these images in the context of their time and making. I particularly appreciate the extended presentation of Rosetti's stunning drawing of Jane Morris (beginning at 14:20). For years I've wondered at the choices made by the Artist in this piece. Your commentary answers many questions and deepens my appreciation for this masterwork.
Thank You!
Thank you. Fabulous in everyway.
What a wonderful and informative piece this is! My thanks to the speakers and all who were involved in the production of this video.
What a superb piece.
I am, by my own admission, not an "art buff" at all as I just don't understand most of it. I do, however, have a great fondness for the absolute beauty (there can be no other word) for the PRB and have even visited some of the places they painted (including Ophelia, perhaps the only painting I am truly in love with).
Thank you so much for this wonderful "film" making, even under the most trying of circumstances. It has helped me wonderfully to alleviate my insomnia this night.
Beautifully made film, it allows us to really appreciate the exhibition even if we can't visit. Thank you.
I’ve loved the videos that you have uploaded. I’ve learned a lot more about them. I didn’t know they were so prolific. This was a treat. Thank you.
A very interesting and informative video, despite the slightly annoying " handing over" from one expert to another. What an exciting time it must have been despite the social & economic upheavals, art captures these moments in history so beautifully, despite some of the works being a more romanticised version of what truly was happening, its still fascinating. Thankyou for the brilliant upload, to be able to preview these great works of art that are rarely shown to the public, it was a real treat!
Thank you for your interest. It is indeed a fascinating film and for those who couldn't make it to the exhibition to see some of the rarely-seen works. You might also like these articles produced to mark the 2022 exhibition:

Thank you , superb video,I usually don't think the private lives of artist and celebrities are any of my business but the stories your hosts portrayed of the connection between nature,romance,and unholy behavior were very powerful for that era, homosexuality,cheating,money,power,fame,I can only conclude to be a artist one must live a artfull Life not a boring one,thank you again,please make more video's like this,greatly appreciated 👍👍👍🌅🌅
Thank you for your appreciation and taking the time to comment. We will pass your thoughts on to the film maker.
Interesting , I was invited to the print room by Dr Jon Whitely a few years ago , to view the pictures of Thomas and Martha Combe , Martha was my great great aunt .
Thank you for sharing that with us. How interesting Martha Combe was your great great aunt. I hope you got to see the Pre-Raphaelites exhibition last year. You might like this feature article about Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites:

Excelente documental! Gracias por realizarlo. Saludos desde Argentina.
El libro/catálogo tiene versión en español?
Excellent documentary! Thanks for doing it. Greetings from Argentina.
Does the book/catalog have a Spanish version?
The rest of the wolrd that d`ont knows Pre- Raphaelites. Art books in real scale, can be a way to develop of taste, from those times.
How are these works lightfast? Is it the maintenance by the museum?
when you say that the work is light sensitive, does that mean only sensitive to natural sunlight? does electrical light also have an degrading effect on the materials as well? thanks for sharing.
Light waves, no matter the source, have the same effect on art. Lightbulbs are made to emit specific wavelengths, making it better than unadulterated sunlight.
Hi, what’s the name off the song at the start off this video.

Most ALL women look the same ....
They all used the same set of like 3 models
I would have preferred a lot less talking heads and a lot more art! Not all of us can get to England. As a HUGE fan of Pre-Raphaelites, I appreciate what you shared. BUT too much talk talk talk and not enough art. Much of the art was shown sideways and soft focus. WHAT is that about??
