Pre- Raphaelites
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters and poets founded in 1848 who aimed to reject dramatic and stylized academic painting styles of the time. They sought to emulate the art of pre-Renaissance painters through accurate depictions of nature, medieval culture and religious subjects. Key characteristics included bright colors, intricate detail, sincerity and moral messages. The founders' goal was to transmit messages of artistic renewal and moral reform through works emphasizing personal responsibility over dogma.
