Camelot in Colour

Description

Enter a world of enchanted forests, sacred quests, heroic knights and tragic love. Camelot in Colour brings together fifty remarkable Arthurian images by the Pre-Raphaelites and the artists influenced by their legacy. Works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, John William Waterhouse and many others follow the legend from Arthur’s rise and the fellowship of the Round Table to the quest for the Holy Grail and the fall of Camelot.

Each artwork is reproduced in colour and presented alongside an accessible account of the story and a closer look at the artist’s interpretation. Paintings, watercolours, tapestries, stained-glass designs and illustrations reveal how Victorian artists transformed the Arthurian legends into a world of beauty, magic and human emotion.
