Sometimes considered the first avant-garde art movement, the
Pre-Raphaelites rejected their era's dominant artistic theories for what
they saw as a more spiritual, naturalistic and intensely personal
approach. Fascinated by the romantic aspects of medieval
culture and the vivid, jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art, the
movement abhored the Classical poses and composition of Raphael and
those influenced by him—hence the group's name—and the influence of Sir
Joshua Reynolds.
Founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, the original Pre-Raphaelites were joined by William
Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas
Woolner to form a seven-member "brotherhood". Its influence on many
later British artists was extensive, and Rossetti's work is now seen as a
precursor of the wider European Symbolist movement. This book examines
the group's emergence, development, influence, and subsequent demise.
