(Ready immediately) The Liverpool Academy acquired passing fame in the "fifties" by its championship of pre-Raphaelite principles, which brought about its downfall in 1859. During this period it boasted a number of artists of first-rate merit, whose reputations have hardly extended beyond their native place, and whose strong claims to national recognition have been ignored. As a school of colourists especially the best of the Liverpool painters are hardly to be surpassed, and their naturalistic treatment of landscape is surprisingly early and masterful.
