Pre-Raphaelite Collection - 574 Images

Experience the beauty and passion of the Pre-Raphaelite movement through this collection of 574 images from talented Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood members and artists who embraced the style.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters, poets and art critics formed in 1848. They rejected the academic art of the Royal Academy and instead sought inspiration in the art of the Italian Renaissance period before Raphael. The group's name reflected their preference for the "primitive" and "innocent" style of that era. 

It was founded by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner who formed a seven-member "Brotherhood" partly modelled on the Nazarene movement. The Brotherhood was only ever a loose association and their principles were shared by other artists of the time, including Ford Madox Brown, Arthur Hughes and Marie Spartali Stillman. Later followers of the principles of the Brotherhood included Edward Burne-Jones and John William Waterhouse amongst others.
