Truth and Beauty: The Pre-Raphaelites and the Old Masters is the first major international exhibition to assemble works by England’s nineteenth-century Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with the medieval and Renaissance masterpieces that inspired them. Important loans of paintings, works on paper, and decorative arts from international collections, as well as works drawn from the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, demonstrate the Pre-Raphaelites’ fascination with Italian masters, including Sandro Botticelli, Raphael, and Paolo Veronese, as well as northern Renaissance painters such as Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling.

Though weary of the stilted beauty of the Pre-Raphaelites paintings, I came away enchanted by this well-curated, and sparkling exhibition, which juxtaposed the Pre-Raphaelites and the Old Masters, relating the connections between these two groups, in the timeline of the artistic development of the Pre-Raphaelites. The amazing achievements of the Old Masters were self-evidence; while the Pre-Raphaelites impressed with their virtuosity and romantic beauty, however mannered they could be.
