Victorian Art Prints
Our Victorian Art collection contains a vast array of the best works from this period.
Victorian Art has been much critically derided of late but a new documentary by Jeremy Paxman on BBC1 offers the opportunity to reasses and reconsider some of the periods seminal works.
It is the overwhelming sentimentality that many critics find so distasteful in the work of many Victorian artists. The works were often constructed to highlight themes of Love, Family, Nature, and Childhood and these could all too become extravagantly emotional in the hands of lesser Victorian artists.
However, if you are looking for the finest selection of Victorian Art then pur collection is based around superb Victorian Artists such as John Atkinson Grimshaw, Charles West Cope, George Baxter, Frederick Walker and Sir John Everett Millais.
