| Summary |
Biography based on previously unpublished letters of three artists associated with the Pre-Raphaelites. Joanna Boyce was one of the most distinguished women painters of the time, praised by Rossetti and Ruskin, who, like her husband, the portrait painter Henry Wells, studied in Paris in the 1850s. Her brother, George Price Boyce, was one of the best watercoloursists of the period and a close friend of Rossetti. The letters are remarkably frank, particularly during the protracted engagement of Joanna and Henry |
