British Graphic Art of the Romantic Era

About the exhibition

Minneapolis Institute of Art presented British Graphic Art of the Romantic Era in 1970. The exhibition presented British graphic art associated with the Romantic era. The reconstructed selection includes original drawings and watercolours; studies remain distinct from the finished works they relate to. Documented examples include John Everett Millais’s Young Woman Reading on the Dunes (19th century; Graphite and wash (on hat band)) and John Linnell’s Portrait of a Gentleman (1846; Pastel and crayon, brush wash). The linked works form a partial checklist; the complete original catalogue remains under research. Exact opening and closing days remain unknown.
