The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt.

The group's intention was to reform art by rejecting what they considered to be the mechanistic approach first adopted by the Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. Mannerism is a period of European art which emerged from the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520. Raphael Sanzio, usually known by his first name alone (in Italian Raffaello) (April 6 or March 28 1483 – April 6 1520 was an Italian painter and Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni Two biographies were published of him during his lifetime One of them by Giorgio Vasari, proposed that he was the pinnacle of all They believed that the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art. For the works or study of works from classical antiquity see Classics Classicism, in the arts, refers generally to Academic art is a style of Painting and Sculpture produced under the influence of European academies or universities Hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite". In particular, they objected to the influence of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the founder of the English Royal Academy of Arts.

They called him "Sir Sloshua", believing that his broad technique was a sloppy and formulaic form of academic Mannerism. In contrast, they wanted to return to the abundant detail, intense colours, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art. The cultural and artistic events of 15th century Italy are collectively referred to as the Quattrocento (from the Italian for '400 or from "millequattrocento" 1400

The Pre-Raphaelites have been considered the first avant-garde movement in art, though they have also been denied that status, because they continued to accept both the concepts of history painting and of mimesis, or imitation of nature, as central to the purpose of art. Avant-garde (avɑ̃gaʁd in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard History painting, as formulated in 1667 by André Félibien, a historiographer architect and theoretician of French Classicism, was in the Hierarchy Mimesis ( μίμησις from μιμεîσθαι) is a critical and Philosophical term that carries a wide range of meanings including However, the Pre-Raphaelites undoubtedly defined themselves as a reform-movement, created a distinct name for their form of art, and published a periodical, The Germ, to promote their ideas. The Germ was a Periodical established by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to disseminate their ideas Their debates were recorded in the Pre-Raphaelite Journal.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in John Millais's parents' house on Gower Street, London in 1848. Gower Street is a street in Bloomsbury, Central London, England, running between Euston Road to the north and Montague Place London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. At the initial meeting, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt were present. Sir John Everett Millais 1st Baronet, PRA ( June 8, 1829 &ndash August 13, 1896) was an English painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882 was an English poet Illustrator, painter and Translator. William Holman Hunt (b 2 April 1827 in Cheapside, London &ndash d Hunt and Millais were students at the Royal Academy of Arts. This article refers to an art institution in London For other meanings of Royal Academy see Royal Academy (disambiguation. They had previously met in another loose association, a sketching-society called the Cyclographic Club. Rossetti was a pupil of Ford Madox Brown. Ford Madox Brown ( April 16, 1821 &ndash October 6, 1893) was an English painter of moral and historical subjects notable for his He had met Hunt after seeing his painting The Eve of St. Agnes, which is based on Keats's poem. "The Eve of St Agnes" is a long poem (42 stanzas by John Keats, written in 1819 and published in 1820. As an aspiring poet, Rossetti wished to develop the links between Romantic poetry and art. Romanticism is a complex artistic literary and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe, and gained strength during the By autumn, four more members had also joined, to form a seven-member-strong Brotherhood. These were William Michael Rossetti (Dante Gabriel Rossetti's brother), Thomas Woolner, James Collinson, and Frederic George Stephens. William Michael Rossetti ( 25 September 1829 &ndash 5 February 1919) was an English writer and critic Thomas Woolner ( 17 December 1825 – 7 October 1892) was an English sculptor and poet James Collinson ( May 9 1825 &ndash January 24 1881) was a Victorian painter who was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Frederic George Stephens ( 1828 - 9 March, 1907) was one of the two 'non-artistic' members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and an Art critic Ford Madox Brown was invited to join, but preferred to remain independent. He nevertheless remained close to the group. Some other young painters and sculptors were also close associates, including Charles Allston Collins, Thomas Tupper, and Alexander Munro. Charles Allston Collins ( 25 January, 1828 – 9 April, 1873) was a British painter and writer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Alexander Munro (born November 30, 1870, date of death unknown was a British Tug of war competitor who competed in the 1908 Summer They kept the existence of the Brotherhood secret from members of the Royal Academy.

Early doctrines

The Brotherhood's early doctrines were expressed in four declarations:

  1. To have genuine ideas to express;
  2. To study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them;
  3. To sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parodying and learned by rote;
  4. And, most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues.

These principles are deliberately non-dogmatic, since the Brotherhood wished to emphasise the personal responsibility of individual artists to determine their own ideas and methods of depiction. Influenced by Romanticism, they thought that freedom and responsibility were inseparable. Nevertheless, they were particularly fascinated by medieval culture, believing it to possess a spiritual and creative integrity that had been lost in later eras. Spirituality, in a narrow sense concerns itself with matters of the Spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and Faith, a transcendent reality This emphasis on medieval culture was to clash with certain principles of realism, which stress the independent observation of nature. Realism in the Visual arts and Literature is the depiction of subjects as they appear in Everyday life, without embellishment or interpretation In its early stages, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood believed that their two interests were consistent with one another, but in later years the movement divided and began to move in two directions. The realist-side was led by Hunt and Millais, while the medievalist-side was led by Rossetti and his followers, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones 1st Baronet (28 August 1833 &ndash 17 June 1898 was an English Artist and Designer closely associated with the later William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896 was an English Architect, Furniture and Textile designer artist writer and socialist associated This split was never absolute, since both factions believed that art was essentially spiritual in character, opposing their idealism to the materialist realism associated with Courbet and Impressionism. In Western civilization, Idealism is the philosophy which maintains that the Ultimate nature of reality is ideal or based upon ideas values essences The so-called The Philosophy of materialism holds that the only thing that can be truly proven to exist is Matter, and is considered a form of Physicalism. For the French Admiral see Admiral Courbet (1828-1885 Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet ( 10 June 1819 &ndash Impressionism was a 19th-century Art movement that began as a loose association of Paris -based Artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s

In their attempts to revive the brilliance of colour found in Quattrocento art, Hunt and Millais developed a technique of painting in thin glazes of pigment over a wet white ground. A glaze in Painting refers to a layer of paint thinned with a medium, so as to become somewhat transparent They hoped that in this way their colours would retain jewel-like transparency and clarity. This emphasis on brilliance of colour was in reaction to the excessive use of bitumen by earlier British artists, such as Reynolds, David Wilkie and Benjamin Robert Haydon. Bitumen is a mixture of organic Liquids that are highly Viscous, black sticky entirely soluble in Carbon disulfide, and composed primarily Sir David Wilkie may refer to Sir David Wilkie (artist (1785-1841 Scottish painter Sir David Wilkie (surgeon (1882-1938 British Benjamin Robert Haydon ( 26 January 1786 – 22 June 1846) was an English historical painter and Writer. Bitumen produces unstable areas of muddy darkness, an effect that the Pre-Raphaelies despised.

Public controversies

The first exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite work occurred in 1849. Both Millais's Isabella (1848–1849) and Holman Hunt's Rienzi (1848–1849) were exhibited at the Royal Academy, and Rossetti's Girlhood of Mary Virgin was shown at the Free Exhibition on Hyde Park Corner. As agreed, all members of the Brotherhood signed works with their name and the initials "PRB". Between January and April 1850, the group published a literary magazine, The Germ. William Rossetti edited the magazine, which published poetry by the Rossettis, Woolner, and Collinson, together with essays on art and literature by associates of the Brotherhood, such as Coventry Patmore. William Michael Rossetti ( 25 September 1829 &ndash 5 February 1919) was an English writer and critic Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore ( 23 July 1823 - 26 November 1896) was an English Poet and Critic. As the short run-time implies, the magazine did not manage to achieve a sustained momentum. (Daly 1989)

In 1850 the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood became controversial after the exhibition of Millais's painting Christ In The House Of His Parents, considered to be blasphemous by many reviewers, notably Charles Dickens. Christ in the House of His Parents (1850 is a painting by John Everett Millais depicting the Holy Family in Saint Joseph 's carpentry workshop Blasphemy is the disrespectful use of the name of one or more gods. Their medievalism was attacked as backward-looking and their extreme devotion to detail was condemned as ugly and jarring to the eye. According to Dickens, Millais made the Holy Family look like alcoholics and slum-dwellers, adopting contorted and absurd "medieval" poses. A rival group of older artists, The Clique, also used their influence against the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. For the band see The Clique (band. For the book see The Clique (novel The Clique was a self-described group of Victorian artists Their principles were publicly attacked by the President of the Academy, Sir Charles Lock Eastlake. Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, RA, ( 17 November 1793 – 24 December 1865) was an English painter, gallery

However, the Brotherhood found support from the critic John Ruskin, who praised their devotion to nature and rejection of conventional methods of composition. John Ruskin (8 February 1819 &ndash 20 January 1900 is best known for his work as an Art critic, sage writer, and Social critic, but is remembered He continued to support their work both financially and in his writings.

Following the controversy, Collinson left the Brotherhood. They met to discuss whether he should be replaced by Charles Allston Collins or Walter Howell Deverell, but were unable to make a decision. Walter Howell Deverell (1827 – 1854 was a British artist born in the United States of America who was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. From that point on the group disbanded, though their influence continued to be felt. Artists who had worked in the style still followed these techniques (initially anyway) but they no longer signed works "PRB".

Later developments and influence

Artists who were influenced by the Brotherhood include John Brett, Philip Calderon, Arthur Hughes, Evelyn De Morgan and Frederic Sandys. Medea (Μήδεια Mēdeia) in Greek mythology was the daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis, niece of Circe, granddaughter of The cultural and artistic events of 15th century Italy are collectively referred to as the Quattrocento (from the Italian for '400 or from "millequattrocento" 1400 John Brett (1831-1902 was a Pre-Raphaelite painter mainly notable for his highly detailed landscapes Philip Hermogenes Calderon ( May 3, 1833 – April 30, 1898) was a British painter of French birth (mother and Spanish (father ancestry who Arthur Hughes ( 27 January 1831 &ndash 23 December 1915) was an English painter and illustrator associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Evelyn De Morgan ( 30 August, 1855 – 2 May, 1919) was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter. Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys (born Antonio Frederic Augustus Sands) ( 1 May 1829 — 25 June 1904) but usually known as Ford Madox Brown, who was associated with them from the beginning, is often seen as most closely adopting the Pre-Raphaelite principles. Ford Madox Brown ( April 16, 1821 &ndash October 6, 1893) was an English painter of moral and historical subjects notable for his

After 1856, Rossetti became an inspiration for the medievalising strand of the movement. Dante Gabriel Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882 was an English poet Illustrator, painter and Translator. His work influenced his friend William Morris, in whose firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. he became a partner, and with whose wife Jane he may have had an affair. William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896 was an English Architect, Furniture and Textile designer artist writer and socialist associated Morris Marshall Faulkner & Co (1861-1875 and its successor Morris & Co Jane Burden ( 19 October 1839 &ndash 26 January 1914) was an English artists' model who embodied the Pre-Raphaelite Ford Madox Brown and Edward Burne-Jones also became partners in the firm. Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones 1st Baronet (28 August 1833 &ndash 17 June 1898 was an English Artist and Designer closely associated with the later Through Morris's company the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood influenced many interior designers and architects, arousing interest in medieval designs, as well as other crafts. This led directly to the Arts and Crafts movement headed by William Morris. The Arts and Crafts Movement was a British, Canadian, and American Aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century and the Holman Hunt was also involved with this movement to reform design through the Della Robbia Pottery company. The Della Robbia Pottery factory was founded in 1894 in Birkenhead by Harold Rathbone and Conrad Dressler (1856-1940.

After 1850, both Hunt and Millais moved away from direct imitation of medieval art. Both stressed the realist and scientific aspects of the movement, though Hunt continued to emphasise the spiritual significance of art, seeking to reconcile religion and science by making accurate observations and studies of locations in Egypt and Palestine for his paintings on biblical subjects. This article is about the country of Egypt For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Egypt topics. Palestine is a name which has been widely used since Roman times to refer to the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. In contrast, Millais abandoned Pre-Raphaelitism after 1860, adopting a much broader and looser style influenced by Reynolds. William Morris and others condemned this reversal of principles.

The movement influenced the work of many later British artists well into the twentieth century. Rossetti later came to be seen as a precursor of the wider European Symbolist movement. Symbolism was a late nineteenth-century Art movement of French and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts In the late twentieth century the Brotherhood of Ruralists based its aims on Pre-Raphaelitism, while the Stuckists have also have derived inspiration from it. The Brotherhood of Ruralists is a British art group founded in 1975 in Wellow, Somerset, to paint nature Stuckism is an Art movement that was founded in 1999 in Britain by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson to promote figurative painting

The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery has a world-renowned collection of works by Burne-Jones and the Pre-Raphaelites that, some claim, strongly influenced the young J.R.R. Tolkien while he was growing up in the city. Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery (BM&AG ( is an art gallery in Birmingham, England. [1]

In the twentieth century artistic ideals changed and art moved away from representing reality. Since the Pre-Raphaelites were fixed on portraying things with near-photographic precision, though with a distinctive attention to detailed surface-patterns, their work was devalued by many critics. Since the 1970s there has been a resurgence in interest in the movement.
