The Victorian art scene flourished during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. It was characterized by a mix of styles, including Romanticism, Realism, and the early stages of Impressionism. Artists often focused on themes of nature, morality, and social issues, reflecting the complexities of Victorian society. Prominent figures included John Everett Millais, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and Edward Burne-Jones, known for his dreamy, medieval-inspired works. The era also saw the rise of art exhibitions, such as the Royal Academy, which provided a platform for artists to showcase their talents and engage with the public.
