This thesis is about the fashion for the Primitives in
Britain in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. By
Primitives I mean the painters of the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries. I have concentrated on Italian
artists. However, since interest extended to earlier
Netherlandish and German painters, some mention will be made
of attitudes to them also.
In my analysis of this fashion I have chosen to treat
as self-contained units its various manifestations . Therefore,
a short sketch of the course of the fashion might be useful
here.
