This is a selection of highlights from 'Beyond the Brotherhood: The Pre-Raphaelite Legacy'. Starting in Renaissance Italy and ending with artwork from the 'Game of Thrones' TV show, the exhibition aims to demonstrate how this avant-garde movement has impacted on art and artists ever since, even inspiring fantasy artists, illustrators and film makers today. Presented chronologically, this Curation features works in the collections of the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum and Southampton City Art Gallery as well as from lenders to the exhibition. This exhibition was made possible with a grant from the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund.
