Pre Raphaelites

In the autumn of 1848 seven young men in London agreed to form a secret society with a programme: painting was to go back behind Raphael, to the precision and honesty of the early Italians. William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti formed the core of the Brotherhood, which from then on signed its pictures with the initials PRB and in 1850 brought out a journal of its own, The Germ.

They painted with almost scientific seriousness. For his Ophelia of 1851/52 Millais had the model Elizabeth Siddal lie in a bathtub and painted the riverside plants leaf by leaf from nature; Hunt charged his scenes with symbolic details, Rossetti fused poetry and picture. The critics reacted with scorn until John Ruskin, the most influential writer on art of the time, defended the group in letters to the Times in 1851.

The Brotherhood fell apart after only a few years, its effect did not. Edward Burne-Jones carried the pictorial world of legend and dream on to the turn of the century, Evelyn De Morgan and Walter Crane translated it into allegory and book art. Four decades after the founding, John William Waterhouse painted with the Lady of Shalott of 1888 the picture that to many counts to this day as the epitome of the Pre-Raphaelite.
