Detailed Description

In the early days of the novel, when pictures were few and words were everything, paintings that illustrated literary stories were all the rage. These so-called literary paintings were often grand in scale, with large crowds of figures and dramatic scenes. The most famous literary paintings were those of William Hogarth, whose paintings illustrated scenes from popular novels of the day such as A Rake’s Progress and The Beggar’s Opera. Other notable literary painters include John Everett Millais, whose painting of Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet is one of the most iconic images of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and Edward Burne-Jones, who also illustrated scenes from Shakespeare as well as from the Arthurian legends. Today, literary paintings are not as common as they once were, but there are still some artists who create them. One of the most famous contemporary literary painters is Chris Van Allsburg, whose paintings have illustrated such popular books as The Polar Express and Jumanji.
