Love & desire: pre-raphaelite masterpieces from the Tate

Abstract

Combining rebellion, beauty, scientific precision and imaginative grandeur, the Pre-Raphaelites constitute Britain's first modern art movement and still inspire 170 years later. Love and desire: Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces from the Tate presents an exceptional opportunity to see many of the Tate's most famous and best-loved paintings alongside Australia's major Pre-Raphaelite holdings and many of the finest works in British public collections.
