Description: ?This exhibition presented an opportunity to look afresh at the work of Frederic William Burton (1816-1900) and to reflect on his lifetime achievement as a Victorian watercolour artist. Irish-born Burton settled in London, where he encountered the Pre-Raphaelite circle that influenced his taste and his art. The exhibition brought together over 70 works by Burton, which were shown alongside works by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Maddox Brown, Daniel Maclise, and William Mulready. It also looked at his period in Germany and his tenure as director of the National Gallery, London.?.
