This event offered an opportunity to explore the themes of eroticism and desire, body, decency and decorum in the examples of works drawn from the Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde exhibition, as well as works not included in the exhibition.
Lynda was joined by Michael Hatt, Professor of History of Art at Warwick University, and the panel was chaired by Alison Smith, co-curator of the Pre-Raphaelites exhibition.
