  • In February 2020, the Center opened an eagerly anticipated exhibition focused on the revolutionary work of three generations of young rebellious artists and designers that revolutionized the visual arts in Britain. Featuring the work of Edward Burne-Jones, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, William Morris, Mary Jane Newill, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Simeon Solomon (among others), "Victorian Radicals" celebrates the skill and still-relevant ideas of these thinkers and makers. Now, with the Center’s doors sadly shut, visit this stunning show through a virtual tour-narrated by Tim Barringer, Paul Mellon Professor of the History of Art at Yale-and appreciate the unparalleled visual richness of Victorian art from the comfort of your own home.
    "Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts and Crafts Movement" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and Birmingham Museums Trust. This exhibition is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional funding is provided by Clare McKeon and the Dr. Lee MacCormick Edwards Charitable Foundation.

    This is an excellent tour. I'm going to start over and listen again..
    The narrator was so enjoyable to listen to, I learned a great deal and am motivated to read more about the pre-raphaelites and the arts and crafts style and movement. My wish is to see these works in person, and maybe visit the homes of Morris and other artists.

    I love the pre raphaelite movement, in love of Millais or Waterhouse paintings, but I can´t say the same about Rosetti, pompous, cheesy and his technique is at light years of Millais; Rosetti is the "Renoir" of Pre raphaelites.
    Great video, thanks!

    Thank you for posting this. I'm hoping this exhibit will get "stalled" in American so I can see it when your museum is able to reopen!

    Good tour from painting to craft in Victorian England. A very different society from today, though with the mind on love, death and beauty.

    Perfectly explained. Thank you. I have know a better understanding of the Pre-Raphaelism, which I didn't like very much, and now appreciate a little more.

    Concerning the very colorful carpet - those tiny hands of children were working on the carpets of the pre- industrial age also, so let us not blame the industrial age for child labor. The idea of handmade glassware for a growing population was increasingly impractical. The ills of society were part of this age and the pre-industrial age. These Pre-Raphaelites were hypocrites as they took mistresses and discarded them, just like the rest of their social class. However, in their youthful verve they made wonderful art and I am sure, they tried their best at understanding and improving the times they lived in.

    Love the beauty of hand crafted art but it’s only for the rich, which Morris grow up in a wealthy family. It didn’t help the poor who worked in the factories. It’s the same today, with the young idealistic rich, who eat and wear only organic . They drive expensive electric cars etc unfortunately the problems of the homeless poor are being ignored, because it’s to overwhelming, so they leave it to big government, which is unable and unwilling to make a real difference. 😢
