Review Victorian Painting / Phaidon Press Ltd:After 500 pages of sparkling, appreciative text and gorgeously reproduced paintings of fairies, angels, knights in shining armour, Queen Victoria, rustic bumpkins, mermaids, society ladies, gambolling colts, roses, storm-tossed seas and small children accompanied by mutts, not to mention Ophelia floating beautifully in her watery, flower-strewn grave, readers may feel as if they inhabit the 19th century. It's a shock to wake up to the end of the 20th instead and to the end of a deeply satisfying book. Lionel Lambourne, who was head of paintings at London's Victoria and Albert Museum for nearly a decade, writes with knowledge, wit and grace. "Scratch a cynic and you will always find a sentimentalist" he says with regard to Victorian genre painting. In discussing the nude and a return to classicism, he writes, "Such works. provided an additional thrill for their nouveau-riche owners, for by displaying them they could show evidence of classical leanings, if not a classical education. " After an excellent introductory overview, Lambourne divides his course into 21 chapters, including: "The Victorian Art Establishment", "The Fresco Revival", "The Panorama", "Childhood and Sentiment", "Fairy Painting", "Sporting and Animal Painting", "The Pre-Raphaelites", "The Frailer Sex and Fallen Woman", "Aesthetes and Symbolists" and "Impressionism in Britain. " The editing and design of the book are superb, with reproductions exactly matching the text and captions containing all relevant information. [+]Lambourne offers new dimensions even to history we think we know well, such as Whistler's lawsuit against the critic John Ruskin, who famously accused the artist of "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face. " In Lambourne's view, the controversy "marked the beginning of aspects of art as various as conceptualism and abstraction" and he goes on to explain why. A tour-de-force of scholarship served up with style, Victorian Painting does ample justice to a complex, frequently misunderstood era. -Peggy Moorman.
