What to look for
Pre-Raphaelite: intense colour, hard-edged detail everywhere at once, flowing hair and medieval or literary subjects; Academic art of the time is smoother and more classical.
Edmund Blair Leighton (21 September 1852 – 1 September 1922) was an English painter of historical genre scenes, specialising in Regency and medieval subjects. His art is associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement of the mid-to-late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, though his artwork is less stylised and much more naturalistic. Wikipedia
