Перевести in the second part of the nineteenth century england entered upon important stages of her artistic development.some known painters — dante gabriel rossetti and others formed themselves into a ‘brotherhood’ with the title of pre-raphaelites that expressed their deep admiration for the masters who preceded raphael.this school had a great influence on the development of english pictorial art. a quick survey of english painting about 1880 would reveal a remarkably wide range of subject matter : the landscapes in photographic detail for tired urban eyes; the parade portraits and the costume-pieces like real charades in paint; the anecdote of contemporary life, widening now to include documents more deeply socially-minded; flower pictures, horse - pictures - an art of material prosperity. portrait art always occupied an important part in english painting and nowadays there are prominent portraitists who continue the traditions of the famous english masters. these traditions are apparent in the portraits by graham sutherland.sutherland is well-known for his drawings of the destruction caused by the german fascists during would war 2.
