‘Pre-Raphaelites drawings and Watercolours’ Opens 18 May – 20 Jun 2021.

Find out more about the group of radical artists who called themselves the Pre-Raphaelites – their lives, their loves, their art – as you enjoy a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of the Ashmolean’s spring 2021 Pre-Raphaelites exhibition.

From a sketch on the back of an envelope to grand, elaborate chalk drawings, our upcoming exhibition offers an opportunity to view our internationally-renowned collection of Pre-Raphaelite works on paper. Explore the enormous range of techniques and media used by the artists that made up this movement – as well as the intimate and often complex friendships and love affairs between them.
