London’s Secret Art Club: A Forgotten Collection Of The Pre-Raphaelites | Private View | Perspective

The ‘forgotten’ collection of Cecil French gives us a window on the world the Pre-Raphaelites. He collected paintings that speak of the Victorian love of the romantic but he remained a mysterious character until his death in 1953. Then, the art world discovered a treasure-trove of work by artists such as Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Edward Burne-Jones and Albert Moore. Today, these remarkable paintings are being conserved and we go behind the scenes for a privileged view.
