PAINTINGS FROM THE REIGN OF VICTORIA: THE ROYAL HOLLOWAY COLLECTION, LONDON
This exhibition includes 60 of the most important paintings of the Victorian period, encompassing the full range of subject matter and style. The paintings were acquired by Thomas Holloway and installed in the women’s college he founded in 1879, still in operation today.
The collection includes scenes of contemporary life, historical events, landscapes, animal studies, and marine subjects. Holloway believed art could be a teaching tool, equating beauty with morality. He bought only the best (and most expensive) pieces exhibited at the annual exhibitions of the Royal Academy in London.
Artists represented include, among others, Sir Edwin Landseer, William Powell Frith, and Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais.
