To complement Holman Hunt and the Pre Raphaelite Vision there is an opportunity to view our superb and rarely seen collection of Pre-Raphaelite drawings and works on paper. Highlights include works by Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Madox Brown and Millais.

Artists in this display all rejected the rigidity of 19th century academic training and, through drawing, developed their own individual style.

Seeking inspiration in history and literature, they used the clear bright colours and simplicity associated with medieval art. This exhibition will illustrate how drawing helped these artists to develop their ideas and produce works of great poetry and imagination.
