Riassunto

The Victorians were enthralled by fairies and angels, and their fascination with benevolent spirits is reflected in their art. These full-color paintings from the nineteenth- and early-twentieth centuries feature Pre-Raphaelite, Symbolist, and Narrative works by such noteworthy artists as Waterhouse, Burne-Jones, Draper, Watts, and Grimshaw.
This book includes a CD-ROM containing 120 royalty-free images saved in JPEG format.
