Founded in 1848 as a secret brotherhood, the Pre-Raphaelites rejected the classical ideals and dominant artistic style of their time, approaching art in a more spiritual, sincere, and realistic manner. Founders of this movement were William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who evolved into a "brotherhood" of seven members including poets and critics, as well as painters. Abandoning the classical compositions represented by Raphael (hence the group's name), the Pre-Raphaelites turned to medieval culture and the jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art for inspiration. Their main themes were initially religious but also included subjects from literature and poetry, as demonstrated by the famous work of Sir John Everett Millais, Ophelia, inspired by Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, they committed to careful study of nature. This book presents key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group to introduce their radical principles, their bright colors, their interest in love, death, and nature, as well as their extensive influence on later Symbolism and beyond.
