Great documentary! I'm very inspired by the philosophies, muses, and techniques of the PBR and later Pre-Raphaelite painters outside the brotherhood, so it was very helpful to get a close look at the beginning of it all.
I had PRB (different artists, had no idea) prints on my walls for YEARS, before I knew anything about them. I still have “The Accolade”, Godspeed” which until about two years ago thought was called “Avalon”🤷♀️, and “The Vigil”, up. Edit: Thank you for posting!
Good exposition and illustration of this pivotal point in English painting. The vigorous narrator adds to it. His crisp diction matches the crispness of the painting style. Thank you.
I would love to see it art is amazing modern or pre-raphlite in its many forms its beautiful.i am new here im not a artisit just a person with creative ideas without the talent to see them on a canvas. I love it here and i love your passion for this you should spark this back up get a group of your friends and take over the world maybe combine the two 🤏🏾 take modern moments and turn it into this and make your statement something that gets people talking and brings them togther. 6:47
Outstanding series! Wonderfully well done expose' on a school that rarely gets mentioned and isn't understood, probably because of all the Impressionist-modernist hype and overrated fluff. I just wish the BBC had carried it forward to the end; to Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema and John Godward.
I always thought that the Awaikaning Conciousness was about a poor woman that once believed in love but she became a mistress for a man who was married. But since she's a woman in that time it doesn't matter how much she wants to be free from that life because she has to face two paths... either be a mistress of a wealthy married man who can provide her and his "other" family, or be a woman with children without lastname and with nothing to eat.
These painters were extremely idealistic and they painted the middle Eastern people with red hair and blue eyes which was their idea of human paradigms. Also, they loved the drama of the lore.
Good documentary, mu bueno, mu rico pa el cuerpo, mu visual nada mal, gracias a los prerafaeles por estos 28 minutos de cultura pa mi pa mi tejao Venga hasta luego
The narrator is Nigel Planer, famous comic actor in the 80s, he played a dumb hippy flatmate in the bbc series'The Young Ones'. Very funny, even now, you can get it on youtube
Became fascinated with this Brotherhood of painters and poets after seeing Poldark and the star of the series. The movie Desperate Romantics. The movies are very sexually explicit but don't let that fact from deterring you from following both movies based on actual real people and life events.
Wonderful, marred only by the annoying BBC logo. Thank heaven they continued their artistry despite the unwarranted criticism, and thank you John Ruskin for opening people's eyes.

@@hogwashmcturnip8930 maybe the narration and interviews should have been done in the hushed whispers of golf commentators. I quite prefer the contrast of the g&s piece, anachronistic though it is, in all of its obnoxious pretension. It illustrates all the more clearly just how out of step with conventions and expectations were these artists. Your own disrupted appetites and aesthetic expectations exemplify it all the better, so I have to begrudge your offended, upturned nose it's due applause also. Well done, then.
Nonsense - The Awakening is about a young virgin girl and her piano teacher - he has taken advantage of her and pulled her on to his lap where she feels his manhood and she finds this quite shocking - as she jumps out of his lap - the discarded glove represents her loss of innocence.
Good documentary by the BBC . Cannot really fault the visuals and the BBC was famous for doing good programs unlike the content which is now being done, especially on truth and political correctness.
And along comes John Ruskin and sez, "Why, this is beautiful!" and the magic words have been spoken! He read my mind from three hundred years before me saying, "Americans, people will buy, sell, eat, wear, marry, smoke, inject and say anything, as long as the right person, at the right time sez it! Then it becomes Public Opinion! Case in point...Rap Music.
You are so right about the right words. Not just Americans, though. We are not allowed to say something is beautiful. In art school my favorite artists were mocked and ridiculed. Too realistic. Too classical. Boring. Did you know that that was the same mantra spoken about the French pre-Rafaelites by one man? You won't believe who he was. He started talking down the classical looking art and suggesting the French Impressionists were so joyful. So light-filled! So vibrant! You know why? He was the agent. He wanted fast paintings done so he could sell more. So his mercenary lies began a whole art revolution and changed the approved script for decades to come. Look up William Bouguereau. He names the agent (his own agent!) who belittled his work in order to profit from his failure.
Very good. But I wish the BBC wouldn't imitate American documentaries with loud (modern) music, hand-held cameras, 're-enactments,' etc. It distracts from what the documentaries are supposed to be teaching.
Because she was in very few paintings, and was barely involved with any of the greats discussed here, only appearing in a handful. You're only interested in her because of her race.
Because the artist was a young man living in Victorian England which pretended to be very spiritual but prostitution was so common that there was quite a bit of concern. It shows a bit of the continued rebelliousness of the artist. (or it simply could just be the narrator's addition only) I like the fiery feet.
"Why weren"t they CARAVAGGIO"???? Cast of supporting characters in "The Carpenter's Shop" by Millais are said to be: Old woman in the background=Anne, the mother of Mary and Jesus's grandmother Young boy holding a bowl of water-John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus. Older boy assisting Joesph= pre-figures the future apostles, followers of Jesus, ( OR NOT)....
while pointing out their responding to nature and contemporary events 10 years before the French Impressionists, they forget the romantics doing the same, followed vy our greatest painter JMW TURNER FIFTY YEARS VEFORE THEM ALL
You cant be serious, Precursors of fin de siecle aestheticism maybe,,,but revolutionaries? Why this tendency to re evaluate lousy artists as good artists? Is it the mushroom growth of art history PhDs in the burgeoning University Industry? Is it a shortage of quality stock in art auction houses? Is it the Brexit syndrome of turning every ugly duckling in British history into a swan ? Blake Palmer and Turner are the masters of C19 British art
+Michael Boylan they may not be your idea of revolutionary, but they were considered so at the time as their painting style went against accepted artistic norms of the day. Lousy painters?! You have just outed yourself as an ignorant, talentless, self-appointed critic. Bet you have never even picked up a paintbrush in your life. The internet is swarming with idiots like you. Go away, paint a masterpiece and then come back and dare to criticise. Meanwhile they are all out of your league.
As a practicing artist (ceramicist/painter) I enjoyed this video immensely; during art school I would often imitate the PR's in my drawings; as a man the speaker in frame 18:16 has a magnificent pair of kissable lips. There's something about British women that really turns me on.
Great documentary! I'm very inspired by the philosophies, muses, and techniques of the PBR and later Pre-Raphaelite painters outside the brotherhood, so it was very helpful to get a close look at the beginning of it all.
good documentary...the British are excellent at it.
BBC Four is my spiritual home
Thank you for this. Just….thank you. I fell in love with the PRB 22 years ago and never stopped, grateful for any content!
Fill my life with beauty.
All the light I can not see.
Suffuse my mind with glory.
And pure and hallowed be.
Wonderful exposure in fine art history....well done!
I had PRB (different artists, had no idea) prints on my walls for YEARS, before I knew anything about them. I still have “The Accolade”, Godspeed” which until about two years ago thought was called “Avalon”🤷♀️, and “The Vigil”, up. Edit: Thank you for posting!
Victorian Art is so very gorgeous!!!
Good exposition and illustration of this pivotal point in English painting. The vigorous narrator adds to it. His crisp diction matches the crispness of the painting style. Thank you.
Fascinating: well worth watching!
A shame we can't mysteriously paint in this style anymore. The mainstream artists always win.

Good collection my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊
Shame a documentary examining such beautiful art is presented in such terrible video quality.
Thank you for sharing!
Me ha encamtado!!madre mia como se lo curraban,ahora con mas adelantos y nos cuesta más.muchas GRACIAS!!😍
So much reading into these painting's ....not like today .. ALL Mish Mash Modern art 🎭 with color being the predominant theme ...so different ....
Back then when art was actually good.
These painters were extremely idealistic and they painted the middle Eastern people with red hair and blue eyes which was their idea of human paradigms.
Also, they loved the drama of the lore.
Nice educational documentary video
Beautiful art
Didn't know Jesus was born in Ireland.
But anyhow still a big PRB fan.✊
"insalubrious"...good word
the extreme close-ups are distracting but excellent treatment of the subject!
Amelia Doubleyou - yep, pointless, must be the same camera team who gives us shots of players noses in snooker tournaments!
thank you Velislav Ivanov :)
merci,such a beauty

Amazing
This was so good!!
Woow, this is amazing 🤩
great video....thank you !
Very good...Narrator speaks too fast, but otherwise very interesting...
The narrator is Nigel Planer, famous comic actor in the 80s, he played a dumb hippy flatmate in the bbc series'The Young Ones'. Very funny, even now, you can get it on youtube
you can set the playback speed to 0.75
Did these works impress the costume designers for some big MGM musicals and historical epics?
good stuff
very interesting, thank you

What music is everyone talking about. It seemed fine to me.
same
Wonderful, marred only by the annoying BBC logo.
Thank heaven they continued their artistry despite the unwarranted criticism, and thank you John Ruskin for opening people's eyes.
The music was too loud, quite distracting in fact. Apart from that it was wonderful.
Ye, it hurt my ears! And the narrator was shouty and belligerent too. Quite at odds with the subject

Its like hearing Instagramers fight about what kind of make up hype is cooler. Baking, contouring, nude look, dramatic eyebrows thin, thick LOL
That was not what I got from this video...
major houlihan (eye roll)
These people seem to be reading situations in their comments which aren't there !
Landseer's name was Edwin. Not Edward. !
Does anyone know a good documentary about John William Godward ?? That would [ also ] be fantastic !! RSVP
Agreed. To me hes the point between pre raphaelites and late neoclacissism... but I don't know enough about where the line is drawn!
Good documentary by the BBC . Cannot really fault the visuals and the BBC was famous for doing good programs unlike the content which is now being done, especially on truth and political correctness.
The first punk rockers.
The sawing violins are distractingly loud.
and how was Ruskin thanked ?

And you compare Pre-Raphaelite art to Rap..
You are so right about the right words. Not just Americans, though.

Loud, annoying music over the narration is a rookie mistake. If you must have music then keep it in it's place--in the background.

I had to stop trying to watch this because of the intrusive music. Do the makers think that words and images alone are not enough?
Camera Obscura
Wasn't that earlier? Van Meer and others? I suspect it would be hard to use a Camera Obscura in many Pre Raphelite settings.
