LONDON — For fans of Pre-Raphaelite art — the mid-19th-century London-born Victorian artistic movement — Martin Beisly’s gallery in St. James’s is a fantastical treasure trove of sumptuous paintings, drawings and sculpture. Works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox Brown hang on forest green walls across from pieces by John William Waterhouse and Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Burne-Jones, who is not of the Pre-Raphaelite generation but is still grouped within that movement, is one of three Victorian artists that Mr. Beisly will present at TEFAF Online from Thursday through Monday. “Venus Epithalamia,” a work in pencil and watercolor that Burne-Jones and his studio did in 1871, which has a provenance that includes being exhibited at both the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, will be shown online alongside paintings by Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Philip de Laszlo.
