this link is for the traveling exhibit on the Pre-Raphelite painters of the mid 19th century. research credits this group of artists as being a major influence on both ruskin and morris in the formulation of an arts and crafts philosophy.

we are sure going to try to get there.

There is also a fairly extended article on the pre-raphelites in this month's issue of Smithsonian magazine. Nice pictures of many of the well known paintings plus information on the movement, including Ruskin and Morris.
