The Aesthetic Movement flourished in Britain in the 1870s and 1880s and was a reaction against and in stark contrast to the perceived fussy, overbearing and conservative Victorian artistic traditions. Those championing the Movement believed that ” art exists for the sake of its beauty alone, and that it need serve no political, didactic, or other purpose. “
