This exhibition shows the integration of science and imagination in Victorian aesthetics. The compositions of figures with their literary, medievalist and post-Romantic sensuality reminiscences reveal the enrichment of the photographic language, thanks to the search headed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, with affinities between the poetic and plastic evocation.
The excellent quality of the facsimiles of the photographic works allows us to appreciate the mastery achieved both at the technical level and at the expressive level by practitioners such as John Dillwyn Llewelyn, Roger Fenton, Henry Peach Robinson and Julia Margaret Cameron. The accurate inclusion of selected comparisons with reproductions of painting and pre-Raphaelite drawings articulates the relationships between fears and their affinities and aesthetic differences.
