About the book >.>.> Painting with Light explores photography’s complex and fascinating relationship with painting in Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries showing how photography was inextricably entangled with art from the very moment of its invention. Opening with the experimental beginnings of the medium in the 1840s this book covers a wide range of British photography in the Victorian and Edwardian ages and concludes with its flowering as a distinct exhibited art form. Spanning seventy-five years from the daguerreotype to very early colour photography Painting with Light mixes iconic and rarely seen works. Featuring images by pioneer photographers such as William Henry Fox Talbot and Julia Margaret Cameron as well as paintings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti J.M.W. Turner and J. A.M. Whistler it reveals the reciprocal role of painters and photographers during this innovative period. (LL)
