Abstract (en)

Reviews the traveling exhibition Love & death: art in the age of Queen Victoria (Auckland City Art Gallery, 2002) showing British paintings representing mid-century Pre-Raphaelitism to turn-of-the-century symbolism at Australian and New Zealand national, private, and civic collections. Focuses on themes of love and death in paintings by Frederic Leighton, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, and George Frederick Watts, among other artists. Critiques the adding and/or eliminating of paintings at the exhibition's various venues.
