Excellent- More about Pre-Raphaelites
The Pre-Raphaelites were a secret society founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. They rejected classical ideals and the dominant artistic genre painting of their era for a more spiritual, sincere, and naturalistic approach. They were inspired by medieval culture and the jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art and were committed to the close study of nature. Their principal themes were initially religious but also included subjects from literature and poetry, as exemplified by Sir John Everett Millais's famous Ophelia. This book presents key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group to introduce their reactionary principles, dazzling colors, interest in love, death, and nature, and their extensive influence on latter-day Symbolism and beyond.

The Pre-Raphaelites, a secret society founded in 1848, defied the prevailing classical ideals and artistic genre of their time by embracing a more spiritual, sincere, and naturalistic approach. Led by the visionary figures of William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the group evolved into a close-knit "brotherhood" that encompassed poets, critics, and painters. In contrast to the classical compositions inspired by Raphael, the Pre-Raphaelites sought inspiration from medieval culture and the vibrant hues of Quattrocento art. Their primary themes, initially rooted in religious subjects, expanded to include themes from literature and poetry, as exemplified by Sir John Everett Millais's renowned Ophelia, drawn from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Influenced by the theories of John Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelites were passionate about studying nature closely. This captivating book showcases a selection of key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group, offering a glimpse into their reactionary principles, vibrant colors, profound exploration of love, death, and nature, and their profound influence on Symbolism and beyond.
