Founded in 1848 as a secret society, the Pre-Raphaelites rejected classical ideals and the dominant artistic genre painting of their era for what they saw as a more spiritual, sincere, and naturalistic approach. This book presents key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group to introduce their reactionary principles, their dazzling colours, their interest in love, death, and nature, and their extensive influence on latter-day Symbolism and beyond.
