1. Project “British Art and Theatre of the XIXth Century” Приложение1

I would like to tell you about painters of the XIXth century. John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti were the founding members of a group of artists called the Pre-Raphaelites formed in 1848. They rejected the art of the Renaissance in favour of art before Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo (15th-16th centuries). The Pre-Raphaelites focused on serious and significant subjects and were best known for painting subjects from modern life and literature often using historical costumes. They painted directly from nature itself, as truthfully as possible and with incredible attention to detail..

Sir David Willkie(18 November 1785 – 1 June 1841) was a Scottish painter. His fame mainly rests on his genre pictures in the Dutch style, such as the Distraining for Rent (1815), The Penny Wedding (1818), The Letter of Introduction (1818) and others. Later he changed his style, tried to imitate the depth and richness of coloring of the old masters and chose more elevated historical subjects, like The Preaching of John Knox before the Lords of Congregation, 10 June 1559. He also painted portraits William Chalmers-Bethune, his wife Isabella Morison and their Daughter Isabella (1804), and was successful as an etcher.

Sir John Everett Millais, 1st Baronet, (8 June 1829 – 13 August 1896) was an English painter and illustrator and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Ophelia was one of the most popular Pre-Raphaelite works. Shakespeare was a frequent source of inspiration for Victorian painters. Millais's image of the tragic death of Ophelia, as she falls into the stream and drowns, is one of the best-known illustrations from Shakespeare's play Hamlet.

William Holman Hunt (2 April 1827 – 7 September 1910) was a British painter, and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Hunt believed that renewal of art must involve a return to honored religious and moral ideals, and these became the center of his work. He used biblical subjects; to paint scenery for these themes he visited Palestine several times, see The Scapegoat (1856) and The Finding of Savior in the Temple (1860). He also frequently took themes from old English myths and sagas, from Shakespeare and Keats. The years 1866-1868, he worked in Florence.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti ( 12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882) was an English poet, illustrator, painter and translator. Most of Rossetti’s work was produced in the spirit of this movement, despite his leaving it at an early date. Many of his themes were taken from the Old and New Testament, Dante, or the medieval legends about the King Arthur and his knights, Malory's Morte d’Arthur in particular, and treated with strong overtones of symbolism.

The second part of my project is about British theatre and the greatest actors of the age.

Dame Ellen Terry, (27 February 1847 – 21 July 1928) English actress of the stage. She was best known for her roles in the plays of William Shakespeare, appearing in a number of his plays including the Taming of the Shrew and The Merchant of Venice. Her greatest success came in 1882, appearing as Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. She also appeared in several early 20th century films such as "The Bohemian Girl" alongside Ivor Novello, "Pillars of Society" and "Victory and Peace". She lectured on Shakespeare throughout England, the USA and Canada. In 1925 she was created a Dame of the British Empire. Dame Ellen Terry, along with Sir Henry Irving were considered the greatest actors of their age, dominating theatre throughout the United Kingdom and the USA.

Sir Henry Irving (6 February 1838 – 13 October 1905) is one of the most famous of English actors, the first of his profession to be knighted (1895) for services to the stage. He was also a celebrated theatre manager and the professional partner of the actress Ellen Terry for 24 years (1878–1902).

Now answer the questions:

  1. When was the group of the Pre-Raphaelites artists formed? (in 1848)
  2. What was the subject of their paintings? (subjects from modern life and literature)
  3. What style did Sir David Willkie paint his pictures in? (the Dutch style)
  4. Who made the best-known illustration from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet? (Sir John Everett Millais)
  5. Why did William Holman Hunt visit Palestine several times? (to paint scenery for biblical subjects)
  6. Who illustrated the medieval legends about the King Arthur and his knights? (Dante Gabriel Rossetti)
  7. What plays of William Shakespeare did Dame Ellen Terry appear? (Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing)
  8. Who was the professional partner of Ellen Terry for 24 years? (Sir Henry Irving)

Charles Dodgson was born in 1838. He went to Oxford University and then he was a teacher there. He was a quiet man and did not talk to people easily. He wrote Alice in Wonderland in 1865. For him, Alice in Wonderland was not an important book, so he did not use his name for the book. He used the name Lewis Carroll. But the book sold very well and it was quickly very famous. At that time, children’s books always tried to teach something. Lewis Carroll did not try to teach anything. He only wanted to tell a wonderful story. Carroll wrote a second story about Alice in 1871. He died in 1898. Today Alice in Wonderland is one of the most famous children’s stories in the world.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was born in Dublin in Ireland. He went to university at Trinity College, Dublin and Oxford and the moved to London. As a young man, Oscar Wilde was brilliant and eccentric, with his long hair and extravagant clothes. He began writing poetry but his most famous works are his plays, especially comedies like Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) or the more serious Salome (1894). Like his conversation, his plays were full of quick humour such as:”Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Wilde’s career was stopped by scandal. He was sent to prison for homosexuality. When he came out of prison, he moved to Paris and died a broken man. The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s only novel and is a brilliant story about moral decadence.

William Makepeace Thackeray was born in Calcutta, India, on July 18, 1811, into a wealthy English merchant family. His father, Richmond Thackeray, an officer in the East India Company, died in 1815, and William was sent to England to live with his aunt at Chiswick.. William was given the 'education of a gentleman', at private boarding schools. William showed his talent for drawing at a very early age. He would draw caricatures of his relatives, teachers and friends.

He led a rather lonely and miserable existence as a child. The caning and other abuses he suffered at school became the basis for recollection in his essays, such as The Roundabout Papers, as well as episodes in his novels Vanity Fair and The Newcomes. When he graduated from the Charterhouse school, he entered Cambridge. William started his adventure in journalism at Cambridge.
After having left the university, he toured the continent, visited museums, theaters and libraries. He also wrote poems, which penned his profound observation upon the vanity and pity of life.

In 1832 Thackeray produced his first books, Collections of Essays and Observations published as travel books. He started the serial publication of his novel Vanity Fair in 1847. It brought Thackeray both fame and prosperity. From then on he was an established author on the English literary scene. He was found dead on the morning of Christmas Eve. The master had called the roll; and Thackeray, like the beloved Colonel Newcome in one of his novels, responded gently, "Adsum - I am here." He was buried in the Kensal Green Cemetery on December 30. After his death, a commemorative bust was placed in Westminster Abbey.

Charles Dickens was born near Portsmouth in the South of England on 7th February 1812. His father worked in an office as a clerk. Charles Dickens’ father did not earn much money and soon the family could not pay their bills. John Dickens went to prison and his family had to live in the prison too. At that time Charles Dickens was 12 years old and he was sent to work in a factory. The pay was low, the work was very hard. Charles Dickens never forgot what happened to him at this time. In 1833 Dickens started writing. Charles Dickens became very famous and very rich. Dickens knew how the poor people lived in England and many of his stories were about poor people. He was angry at the way children were treated. Because of his stories, people were made to see how children and poor people lived in the XIXth century England. Oliver Twist, the story of a poor boy without a family, was published in 1838. Other well-known books by Dickens are: A Christmas Carol (1843), Bleak House (1853), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1861) and Our Mutual Friend (1864). Charles Dickens became ill from working too hard and died on 9th June 1870 near Gravesend in the south of England. He was 58 years old. Charles Dickens was buried in the famous church, Westminster Abbey, in London.
