Albert Joseph Moore (1841-1893) was a British Aesthetic artist. He was a native of York and studied at the Royal Academy in London. Moore was a moderate success financially and died young because he did not take care of his health.
The Aesthetic movement was a Victorian artistic and literary movement which argued that art should speak of refined, elegant, and sensual pleasure instead of serving an allegorical or sentimental purpose.
