    Extractions: Compiled and Maintained by Thomas J. Tobin The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, or PRB, was formed in 1848 as a group of young painters in Britain who wished to experiment with the Horatian principle of ut pictura poesis , which means (in a great oversimplification) that painting and poetry are merely two different ways of expressing the same ideas. The Brotherhood wished to "correct" the false principles on which the arts had been based since the time of Raphaelthey thought that beauty had supplanted truth in art, and that a return to the principles of truth and usefulness would create better art. With these ideas in mind, they began painting and composing poetry, some with more success in one area than in the other. Dante Gabriel Rossetti continued to paint and versify throughout his career, while others in the PRB soon found that their talents lay primarily in painting or in poetry, but not both. Critical Opinion in the 19th Century The criticism garnered by the PRB was often derogatory, aiming to ridicule their "backward" aims in painting technique, their supposed Roman Catholic leanings, or the triteness of their poems. There is an extensive canon of the writings of the Pre-Raphaelites themselves, and one may find many examples of works by the Rossettis, William Morris, Algernon Swinburne, and others. Although many scholars have cited the critical reaction to the PRB, there are few avenues by which the serious (and the curious) scholar can look at this critical literature itself. I have put together this site in order to help fill this need. You can gain an overview of the site under the

    Extractions: I have always had a great love of beautiful art, and of the most beautiful are the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) and their followers, with their bright and clear colours, fair women and themes from myths and legends. It all began in the first half of the 19th century. There were in the 1830s and 40s a growing enthusiasm for and interest in Gothic architecture, medieval literature and pre-Renaissance paintings. British art at that time was dominated by the Royal Academy, whose style tended towards that of the Old Masters; the dark and gloomy with lots of brownish paint. English art were already influenced by the German Nazarene movement, whose principles were accuracy, a new look at the medieval past and an intensity of feeling, both human literary and religious. This movement also influenced the PRB. In 1848 the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was founded in London. The founding members included the young painters Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holdman Hunt and John Everet Millais. The PRB rebelled against the established view of art, wanting to free art from the stranglehold of the Academy. The earliest works of the PRB were only signed with the group's initials.

    Extractions: Julia Margaret Cameron, the photographer, finds a place on these pages because she was the 'Pre-Raphaelite photographer', and produced illustrative work using photography of poems by Tennyson and others, in the same way that many artists painted and illustrated them. She was born in Calcutta, educated in Paris, and back in India, married Charles Hay Cameron, a wealthy tea estate owner. He was 20 years older than her, and retired in 1838. They went to live in London, becoming part of the artistic community centred around Little Holland House in Kensington. Tennyson became a friend of the Camerons, and they visited him at his home in the Isle of Wight (at Farringford, Freshwater) in the 1850s. In 1860, the Camerons bought two adjacent houses at Freshwater Bay on the island, and converted them into one large residence by adding a central, squat Gothic tower. Julia Cameron took up photography while living there, in 1863. She was then 48 years old. Her Pre-Raphaelite subjects included Arthurian illustrations for Idylls of the King (1874), and of other poems by Tennyson, Browning, Kingsley, and Shakespeare. She also made figure studies of Pre-Raphaelite types - girls in flowing dresses with long hair, looking melancholy, and very much one of her aims in photography was to show moods of sadness or introspection. As well, she produced some of the best photographic portraits of famous people of her day - Tennyson of course (many times), Browning , Richard Burton, Herschel the astronomer (a friend who helped teach her photographic processes), Darwin, Carlyle, and Ellen Terry (in 1864, the year she married

    Extractions: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood began in 1848 as a secret society in rebellion against The Royal Academy. The leader of the movement was a 20 year-old artist named Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He (along with 19 year-old Sir John Everett Millais and 21 year-old William Holman Hunt) began a new movement in painting. The society only invited four other members to join: Thomas Woolner (sculptor), James Collinson (painter), William Michael Rossetti (writer), and Frederick George Stephens (writer). Despite this, their talents inspired many to follow the Pre-Raphaelite style. Chivalry by Sir Frank Dicksee] What sort of style did they have? The Pre-Raphaelites believed that the only "truly great" art from before the 16th century Italian painter, Raphael. Raphael, and the artists that followed him, often manipulated the subject into their idea of beauty rather than staying true to the actual subject's appearance. Denouncing this idealization, the Pre-Raphaelites produced paintings based on real subjects, paying extreme attention to details. By omitting distortions (whether accidentally or on purpose), the artists gave their paintings a surreal effect. Using bright colours on a white background, they added great depth and brilliance to their paintings. Whether their themes were Biblical or Medieval or based on a work of literature, all of their works are passionate and very unlike the other works of this time period. The Ladies Lament by Lizzie Siddal] Who followed this movement? Not only did they influence many artists, but there were also many writers that can be classified as Pre-Raphaelites. Some of the major artists (in addition to the aforementioned ones) were: Frederic, Lord Leighton; John Melhuish Strudwick, Edward Burne-Jones, Lawrence Alma Tadema, William de Morgan, William Morris, John William Waterhouse, Frank Bernard Dicksee, Arthur Hughes, John Ruskin, and Frederick Augustus Sandys Also notable were the women Pre-Raphaelite writers, artists, and models, several of whom married Pre-Raphaelite artists: Christina Rossetti, Lizzie Siddal, Evelyn de Morgan, and Jane Burden Morris.

    Extractions: Patti Smith You've got to start your own movement or nothing's going to start. In 1848, seven men in England joined together to form an aesthetic movement, and they called themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The Pre-Raphaelite movement was intended to redefine art,and indeed it helped pave the way for our modern era. The seven original members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1907; art critic) Friends and associates of the original seven Pre-Raphaelites soon became part of the movement. Today we think of the Pre-Raphaelites as including not only William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and the rakish painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti , but also his drug addicted painter wife Lizzie Siddal , the wildly original and intellectually honest designer WilliamMorris , the sexually repressed writer and philosopher John Ruskin, acclaimed artist Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown, and many others.

Pre-punk rogues and radicals, they were outside of society. The ideals for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were simple:

    Extractions: ho were the Pre-Raphaelites? The name and the term "Pre-Raphaelite" has been applied to many artists and their work long after the original Pre-Rapahelite Brotherhood had ceased to exist. The P.R.B. and their followers manifested some ideas of art that inspired and was part of a larger movement in British Victorian painting, decoration and design. They shared the general romanticism and gothicism of the century - appreciation of an historical "medieval" origin - but perhaps more important, they broke with the conventions of the academies and showed a new conception and appreciation of Nature, a new sensitivity. This also was the seed to become the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Noveau and Jugendstil. The Pre-Raphaelites, in their context, therefore are a link to modern art. But the reason that their work are being rediscovered and popular still today, is their unique qualities. They remain a source of sheer beauty, timeless, beyond de-constructions and post-modernisms, both simple to comprehend and complex - in forgotten emotion and mystical innocence. These artists believed in something.

    Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Though always controversial in art circles, the Pre-Raphaelites have also always been extremely popular with museum goers. This accessible new study provides the most comprehensive view of the movement to date. It shows us why, a century and a half later, Pre-Raphaelite art retains its power to fascinate, haunt, and often shock its viewers. Calling themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt produced a statement of ideas that revolutionized art practice in Victorian England. Critical of the Royal Academy's formulaic works, these painters believed that painting had been misdirected since Raphael. They and the artists who joined with them, including William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, and Frederick George Stephens, created bright works representing nature and literary themes in fresh detail and color. Considered heretical by many and frequently admonished for a lack of grace in composition the group disbanded after only a few years. Yet its artists and ideals remained influential; its works, greatly admired. In this richly illustrated book, Elizabeth Prettejohn raises new and provocative questions about the group's social and artistic identity. Was it the first avant-garde movement in modern art? What role did women play in the Pre-Raphaelite fraternity? How did relationships between the artists and models affect the paintings? The author also analyzes technique, pinning down the distinctive characteristics of these painters and evaluating the degree to which a group style existed. And she considers how Pre-Raphaelite art responded to and commented on its time and place a world characterized by religious and political controversy, new scientific concern for precise observation, the emergence of psychology, and changing attitudes toward sexuality and women.

    Extractions: The Pre-Raphaelites The Pre-Raphaelite movement began as a reaction against the prevailing rules of painting that were based on the works of the Renaissance painter Raphael and his followers (e.g. 1/7 of the canvas should be in bright light, 1/3 in shadow; no two heads should be turned the same way; the human figures should represent ideal beauty). The Pre-Raphaelite painters (Hunt, Millais, Rossetti) believed they were returning to the "naturalism" of the Italian primitivespainters before Raphael; the first Pre-Raphaelite exhibitions (1848; 1850) featured paintings from human models and in natural light. As William Morris wrote, this new style was part of the "general revolt agaist Academicism in Literature as well as in Art," although the revolution in literature happened much earlier (see Wordsworth's "Preface to Lyrical Ballads ." ). Perhaps not surprisingly, traditional art critics were outraged. John Everett Millais

    Extractions: he term Pre-Raphaelite , which refers to both art and literature, is confusing because there were essentially two different and almost opposed movements, the second of which grew out of the first. The term itself originated in relation to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an influential group of mid-nineteenth-century avante garde painters associated with Ruskin who had great effect upon British, American, and European art. Those poets who had some connection with these artists and whose work presumably shares the characteristics of their art include Dante Gabriel Rossetti Christina Rossetti George Meredith William Morris , and Algernon Charles Swinburne William Holman Hunt's portraits of his young Pre-Raphaelite Brothers

    Extractions: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was created in 1848 by seven artists: Dante Gabriel Rossetti , William Michael Rossetti, William Holman Hunt James Collinson John Everett Millais Frederic George Stephens , and Thomas Woolner. Their goal was to develop a naturalistic style of art, throwing away the rules and conventions drilled into students' heads at the Academies. Raphael was the artist considered to have attained the highest degree of perfection, so much so that students were encouraged to draw from his examples rather than from nature itself; thus they became the "Pre-Raphaelites".

This course sets out to study them in their context, relating them to early Victorian art, literature and society. Oxford is rich in associations with the Pre-Raphaelites. The collection of Thomas Combe, an important early patron, is in the Ashmolean Museum, and the Oxford Union still has the murals painted by Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Morris and their friends in the summer of 1857.
