There were also practical reasons for creating ‘visible poetry’, thus raising the status of artist above that of a mere craftsman. In her lecture, Val will reference artists including Blake, Turner, Bosch, Burne-Jones, Delacroix, Poussin, Rossetti and Millais.

In her lecture, Val will reference artists including Blake, Turner, Bosch, Burne-Jones, Delacroix, Poussin, Rossetti and Millais.
