Thomas Combe (superintendent of the Clarendon Press) encouraged John  Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt at a crucial early stage of  their careers, and his collection became the nucleus of the Ashmolean  collection of works by the Brotherhood and their associates. Two young  undergraduates, William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, saw the Combe  collection and became enthusiastic converts to the movement. With Dante  Gabriel Rossetti, in 1857 they undertook the decoration of the debating  chamber (now the Old Library) of the Oxford Union. The group&rsquo;s champion  John Ruskin also studied in Oxford, where he oversaw the design of the  University Museum of Natural History and established the Ruskin School  of Drawing. Jane Burden, future wife of Morris and muse (probably also  lover) of Rossetti, was a local girl, first spotted at the theatre in  Oxford.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Oxford&rsquo;s key role in the  movement has made it a magnet for important bequests and acquisitions,  most recently of Burne-Jones&rsquo;s illustrated letters and paintbrushes. The  collection of watercolors and drawings includes a wide variety of  appealing works, from Hunt&rsquo;s first drawing on the back of a tiny  envelope for The Light of the World (Keble College), to large, elaborate  chalk drawings of Jane Morris by Rossetti. It is especially rich in  portraits, which throw an intimate light on the friendships and love  affairs of the artists, and in landscapes which reflect Ruskin&rsquo;s advice  to &lsquo;go to nature&rsquo;. \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>More than just an exhibition catalog, this book is a showcase of the Ashmolean&#8217;s incredible collection, and demonstrates the enormous range of Pre-Raphaelite drawing techniques and  media, including pencil, pen and ink, chalk, watercolor, bodycolor  and metallic paints. It will include designs for stained glass and  furniture, as well as preparatory drawings for some of the well-known  paintings in the collection.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exhibition catalogue focusing on the Ashmolean&#8217;s rarely seen reserve collection of Pre-Raphaelite drawings and watercolors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5523],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-18635","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-by-author-christiana-payne","8":"author-contributions-by-fiona-mann","9":"author-contributions-by-robert-wilkes","10":"publisher-ashmolean-museum","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
