Drawn from public and private collections
internationally, the exhibition features some of the most outstanding images
in photographic history. Influenced by historical paintings and more commonly associated with the Pre-Raphaelite era, the four formed a bridge between the art of the past and the art of the future. They
revolutionised the use of photography, hence why they are referred to as ‘The
Victorian Giants’.
