{"product_id":"9781138849587","title":"William Holman Hunt and Typological Symbolism (Routledge Revivals) (Routledge Revivals)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, first published in 1979, Landow contends that Hunt's version of Pre-Raphaelitism concerned itself primarily with an elaborate system of painterly symbolism rather than with a photographic realism as has been usually supposed. Like Ruskin, Hunt believed that a symbolism based on scriptural typology - the method of finding anticipations of Christ in Hebrew history - could produce an ideal art that would solve the problems of Victorian painting. According to Hunt, this elaborate symbolism could simultaneously avoid the dangers of materialism inherent in a realistic style, the dead conventionalism of academic art, and the sentimentality of much contemporary painting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Landow examines Hunt's work in the context of this argument and, drawing on much unknown or previously inaccessible material, shows how he used texts, frames, and symbols to create a complex art of mediation that became increasingly visionary as the artist grew older. This book is ideal for students of art history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45994770169935,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1365.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781138849587-1.jpg?v=1784957460","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781138849587","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
