Pre-Raphaelites
The Pre-Raphaelites is
a British art during the 19th century. It began in 1848 which was
a secret group of
artists who these artists are
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti which was his brother, Thomas Woolner, William Holman
Hunt, Frederic Geroge Stephens, James Collinson and also John Everett Millais. These artists were revolting against the
current art establishments , which was mainly the British Royal Academy.
The gole of the Pre-Raphalites was to remain
secret where the meaning of
the initials were PRB which inscribes on their painting which became public possible by
Dante Gabriel Rosetti.
The early work of the
brotherhood were different from their late
works which were mostly
associated to them. The first paintings of the brotherhoods were
controversially applied with the bold which was the new realism to the secret
subjects. The brotherhood were mostly decade before the French impressionism
which their brushes captures the insalubrious subjects form the urban life.
We also can see that in the 1850 there were some
critics which were the darling
of the nation
Charles Dickens and we also
can see a painter who
was in question that
was the 21 year old Pre
Raphaelite John Everett Millais. The
group wanted a revolution where the brotherhood founded in the 1848 when there
was a revolution with a different kind which was started spreading across
Europe, where we can see a communist manifesto which was published for Karl
Marks.

and two fellow students were fired by the political thermos which was a
prestigious royal school. We also can see that William Holman Hunt aged 21 and
also Gabriel Rossetti aged 22 has also decided to overturn the British art. They
all agreed that during the 19th century the British art became lazy,
predictable and also boring. They decided to simplify the art of John
Ruskin. The Pre-Raphaelite group was
also interested in the literature and also in
poetry also they were interested
in the visual art from the very start. They decided
to paint moral subjects which were drawn from the literature and also the
bible.
Hunt had also some
complains where he
complained on why should the
composition of the paining has to be perspective such
as the pyramids and also
why the highest light has
to be on the principal figure
and also
why it has to
be always on
one corner of the
picture and will be always in the shades.
The Pre-Raphaelite
light means before the Raphaelite light. Raphael was a
great artist where his style got
conventionalized made into
a formula by his
students and also
by the next generation
after that.

Comments: The
Pre-Raphaelites in my opinion shows a lot of the composition in the painting and also we cans
see that most
of the paintings that are
done during the
Pre-Raphaelites were based
more on the triangular
shape as see of the picture
above.
Edward Burne Jones – 1833-1898
He was a British
artist also English painter, illustrator and designer a key figure in the
second phase of Pre-Raphaelitism. In the 1853 he began studying at the Oxford University,
who was intended to train for the priesthood, but his
interest was turned to the art
which first was
by William Morris , his fellow student and
then by Rossetti who was remained to decisive influence on him. He
then left Oxford without having the degree in the 1856 and then he settled in
London. Rossetti gave him some informal
lesson and he attended life drawing courses for a while but essentially he was
self-tough, his taste was more classical then Rossetti’s and he elongated forms
owed much to the example of Botticelli.
