The
Pre Raphaelites were a group of young artists who were
unhappy with the style of art being taught at important arts schools
like the Royal Academy, - teaching which followed the traditions
of Raphael's style which made everything look perfect. They admired
the art from before Raphael and began to sign their art with the
initial PRB - the Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood, using subjects from
the Bible, and Shakespeare, and painting with bright colors over
white backgrounds. This made their paintings look fresher than
other Victorian art which was usually painted on brown backgrounds.
The original members of the PRB were
Sir John Everett Millais, Holman Hunt,
Dante Gabriel Rossetti ,
James Collinson., art critics William Michael Rossetti and Frederick
Stephens, and the sculptor Thomas Woolner. .
