15. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Who inspired them? In the middle of the 19thcentury, the Royal Academy of Arts in London reigned supreme as the centre of the English art world and taught students the fundamentals of anatomy, painting, perspective, geometry and sculpture. A group of them rebelled and rejected the academic taste and the accepted style of painting which idealized nature and beauty to the detriment of truth and it seemed to lack vigour, seriousness and sincerity and relied too heavily on academic conventions.

16. They formed a secret society called “the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood” through which they hoped to revitalize painting in Britain. They reacted against the dull, unimaginative art of the period by returning to the aesthetic values of the Italian painters of the Quattrocento who lived before Raphael and were closer to nature and less artificial than the Victorian artists. • They thought that all art from Raphael onwards had degenerated into conventionalism and academicism, so they were determined to “do battle against the frivolous art of the day” and looked back for inspiration to early medieval Italian painters, Raphael’s predecessors, who, they said were “simple, sincere and religious”.

17. Who were the original members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood? • The Pre-Raphaelite society was to be secret, and accordingly they became a “Brotherhood”. • The initials “PRB” appeared somewhere on their work in order to give strength to their union: • The initial group was formed in 1848 by seven artists, poets and painters, including in particular Dante GabrielRossetti( 1828 -1882), William Holman Hunt( 1827-1910) and John EverettMillais( 1829- 1896).

18. Hunt was the main theorist of the group, and was responsible for their guiding principles: the depiction of simple rather than grand subjects, with a serious and moralistic theme, an honest rendition of nature based on direct observation and an adherence to Christian spirituality. He said that their aim was to achieve “ a serious and elevated intention of a subject, along witearnest scrutiny of visible facts” Rossetti, the son of an Italian political refugee, was the charismatic force behind the group, the founder and leader of the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He was also a poet and he wished to develop the links between poetry and art. His paintings are notedbothfor their religious symbolism and for their atmosphere of languorous beauty and sensuality.

19. Millais was the most artistically talented of the three. He represented natural appearances down to the minutest detail and for this he was often criticized. The movement influenced the work of many later British artists. Rossetti, in particular is seen as a precursor of the wider European symbolist movement. The group split up in 1854.What did they paint? • They insisted that paintings must be done from direct observation of nature , in terms of clarity, brightness and detailed first-hand observation of flora. • For example when Millais painted Ophelia (1852) he spent four months outside painting the bakground.

20. They used very strong colours, which at the time they seemed garish, and for this reason they were criticized and devalued by many painters and critics. For this reason, in 1850, they started a periodical of their own, “The Germ”, which, though limited to only four numbers, publicized their theories and also published some of their poems. • The subjects that they chose were biblical or inspired by theartists and writers they admired. Symbolism was an important component of their paintings Believing that art must have a message to convey, they often filled their paintings with symbols but at the same time they tried to “adhere to the simplicity of nature”, i.e. to represent reality in minute detail though beautifying and idealizing it. For example flowers represented qualities such as innocence, youth, purity.

21. What then, do we see in the early Pre-Raphaelite pictures? Firstly, they are generally bright - much more so than contemporary academic pictures - painted on a white ground. This gives them an instant impact when seeing them in a gallery among contemporary Victorian art. Secondly, the "truth to nature" apparent in attention to minute detail, to colour, and sometimes a lack of grace in composition. Thirdly, a taste for significant subjects - from mediaeval tales, from poetry, from religion.
