Renaissance Girls Pre Raphaelite Style

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of young artists and writers who formed a secret society in London in 1848. The group was founded by painters John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt, who were students at the Royal Academy of Arts. The name "Pre-Raphaelite" referred to the group's opposition to the Royal Academy's promotion of the Renaissance master Raphael, and their desire to create a new British art. 

The Pre-Raphaelites defined themselves as a reform movement and published a periodical called The Germ to promote their ideas. They believed in the importance of history painting and mimesis, or imitation of nature, as central to the purpose of art. The group's debates were recorded in the Pre-Raphaelite Journal. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was greatly influenced by nature, and its members used intense sharp focus and an absence of shadows in their works. 

Although most of the Pre-Raphaelites were only tenuously associated with socialism, some of their works challenged traditional class hierarchy and reflected contemporary social and class conflicts. The Pre-Raphaelite belief that art could alter society gathered strength and developed its full expression in the Arts and Crafts movement. The Pre-Raphaelites were a loose and baggy collective of Victorian poets, painters, illustrators, and designers whose tenure lasted from 1848.
