Awakening Beauty II is the
exhibition title of an extraordinary collection of
Victorian art, put together
by aesthetics and art history scholar Professor Paul Crowther, prof. emeritus
of the National University of Ireland, Galway. He collected systematically
works of the Pre-Raphaelites, their predecessors and contemporaries. The first
part of the collection was exhibited in the National Gallery of Slovenia in
2015. The second part of the collection will be on view this time, collection
that features paintings and watercolours of several thematic units convenient
to develop smaller problem-focused selections. Prof Paul Crowther and his
spouse Mojca Oblak have bequeathed their collection to the National Gallery of
Slovenia in 2022 including the works of art that have been added to the main
body following the exhibition. The second part is even larger than the first.
The exhibition will present the collection with accompanying historical and
critical interpretations.
