moe armstrong hugs from Italy. Me too, I am severely disabled and I should not be able, no matter if it is in England or here in Milan, to attend the Exhibition. So, glad they posted it. All the best.
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.
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!
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. 😢
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.
This has been wonderful I am in the house sick from two cancer treatments in one year. You lecture is better than anything on TV today Thank you

Thank you for that reminder.

What a great tour! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
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!

Thank you very much for this so interesting lecture.
Good tour from painting to craft in Victorian England. A very different society from today, though with the mind on love, death and beauty.
I was lucky enough to have seen it when it came to Vero Beach , Florida
Fantastic tour thank you
Thank you for this
