Pre-Raphaelite

Brotherhood

Pre-Raphaelites
Pre-Raphaelites-a group of 19th-century English painters, poets, and critics
who reacted against Victorian materialism and the neoclassical
conventions of academic art by producing earnest, quasi-religious works.
The group was inspired by medieval and early Renaissance painters up to
the time of the Italian painter Raphael.
Where does the name come from? The Pre-Raphaelites thought Raphael
had produced technically perfect religious pictures, but with little spiritual
feeling. On the contrary, they admired the art and painters before
Raphael.
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was established in 1848.
