"Notes on the Royal Academy Exhibition, 1868" by Wm. Michael Rossetti and Algernon C. Swinburne is a critical examination of art exhibitions, specifically focusing on the Royal Academy events, written in the mid-19th century. This work merges commentary with personal impressions of the exhibited artworks, reflecting on the trends and qualities in the art of the period. The topics generally cover critiques of individual pieces and broader observations on the evolution of
British painting, touching upon the impacts of Præraphaelitism and changes in artistic standards. At the start of this compilation, Rossetti introduces the premise that each piece of art offers its unique narrative and perspective, underscoring the subjective nature of art criticism. He candidly addresses potential criticisms he anticipates for his opinions and intentions in reviewing the works displayed. The opening portion features thoughts on various artists and paintings, emphasizing a critical lens through which the changes in style and substance of the Royal Academy's exhibition are evaluated. Rossetti discusses the current state of British art, pointing out the balance between technical skill and artistic depth, which sets the tone for the critiques and insights to come.
