The Pre-Raphaelite Legacy: British Art and Design from the Metropolitan’s Collection (May 20–October 26, 2014) highlights the dynamic second wave of the 19th-century Pre-Raphaelite movement, as artists creatively adapted the core ideal of returning to the sincerity and vivid intensity they admired in medieval and early Renaissance art. The exhibition unites paintings, drawings, furniture, textiles, prints, and illustrated books from across the Met’s collections.
