London's Secret Art Club: A Forgotten Collection Of The Pre-Raphaelites | Private View

The ‘forgotten’ collection of Cecil French gives us a window on the world the Pre-Raphaelites. He collected paintings that speak of the Victorian love of the romantic but he remained a mysterious character until his death in 1953. Then, the art world discovered a treasure-trove of work by artists such as Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Edward Burne-Jones and Albert Moore. Today, these remarkable paintings are being conserved and we go behind the scenes for a privileged view.

    Burne-Jones said I owe everything to Rossetti to give some perspective it was Rossetti who inspired his fellow artists these are not my words but artists at the time.

    A wonderful subject matter but poorly shot in places. I can't believe they filmed oil paintings from an angle where reflected light from the glass frames ruined the image being shown, eg. at 14:30, 16:16 and 16:26. Quite a basic error that an amateur might be expected to make!

    Shame the film makers didnt have enough clout/capacity to film the works without glare from the glass. Shame on the exhibitors for not allowing/ensuring these “forgotten” works be filmed at their best.

    Do not ever listen to someone who wants to explaine a particular time in art,you should always experience what that art does to you and your experience that comes about during your time observing it.

    You are attempting to tell others how they should and shouldn't experience art, do you not see the irony?

    analyzing the work of a pre-raphaelite by comparing it to that of high renaissance artists feels reductive at best, uneducated at worst
