“The Rossettis Exhibit: Delaware Art Museum”

The Museum has arranged a guided tour of The Rossettis Exhibit.

Revolution, partnership, love. The Rossettis led a progressive counterculture, drawing on the past to reinvent art for their fast-changing modern world. The work of Pre-Raphaelite founder Dante Gabriel Rossetti, alongside that of his wife, artist Elizabeth Siddal, and his siblings, writers Christina and William Michael Rossetti, are the subject of this major international exhibition organized in partnership with Tate Britain.  After the tour you may enjoy the rest of the Museum including other exhibits such as:

British Pre-Raphaelites (Permanent Collection):

In 1848, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and six other British artists and writers, including John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt, formed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB). They shared a disdain for the established art institutions of the day, in particular the Royal Academy. John Ruskin supported the Pre-Raphaelites. The exhibit includes work by Ford Maddox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.

American Illustration:

The Delaware Art Museum was founded to preserve the work of Wilmington-based artist Howard Pyle, who gained fame as an author and illustrator of books and magazines at the turn of the 20th century. An articulate and demanding teacher, he communicated this skill to his many students, teaching them to put themselves “in the picture.” Pyle’s illustrious students include N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Jessie Willcox Smith, and other famous illustrators.
