Albert Joseph Moore was a ground-breaking artist of the Aesthetic movement which burgeoned in the latter half of 19th-century Britain. With the motto ‘art for art’s sake’ as his oath, Moore’s work seeks to express the beauty of form over function. There's no other meaning in aesthetic art, there is no allegorical basis nor moral lesson to be taught. It was this which made aestheticism, and Moore’s work, unique in Victorian Britain.
