Stereoscopy Versus Paintings in the Victorian Era

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This astonishing set of stereocards from Brian Mays collection reconstructs 14 well-known Victorian works in Tate Britain using real actors and staged scenes. The stereos are contemporary with the paintings, and their existence was hitherto unknown outside the circle of specialist collectors of Victoriana. They were produced for commercial reasonsthe advent of a new painting by a great artist was big news, but most people were not able to access and enjoy the new works of art. Entrepreneurial photographers of the day reconstructed the scenes, photographed them, and sold the stereocards for profi t. In addition to their beauty, they shed light on the story of these famous paintings, and reveal a great deal about the society of the time. The format is to show the painting itself, followed by the stereocard versions of that painting with explanatory text.
