19^th century gallery - part three

During the late 19th century the High Victorian concept of 'art for art's sake', where formal concerns were more important than narrative or moral content, influenced many artists. However, the taste for allegorical or instructional paintings also continued. This period produced many beautiful and richly painted works, a selection of which can be seen here.
