Paolo and Francesca
by MUNRO, Alexander, Marble
Perhaps the nearest that there came to being a Romantic school of sculpture in Britain was the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It was a follower of the group who came closest to embodying the Pre-Raphaelites’ attitude toward the Middle Ages. This was Alexander Munro, whose Paolo and Francesca shows a medievalism inspired by the watercolours of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
