The '''Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood''' ('''PRB''') was a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by [[William Holman Hunt]], [[John Everett Millais]], and [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]]. The group's intention was to reform art by rejecting what they considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by the [[Mannerism|Mannerist]] artists who succeeded [[Raphael]]. They believed that the classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art, hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite."

== History ==
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in [[London]] in 1848. The founding members were [[William Holman Hunt]], [[John Everett Millais]], and [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]]. They were soon joined by [[William Michael Rossetti]], [[James Collinson]], [[Frederic George Stephens]], and [[Thomas Woolner]]. The group sought to return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of [[Quattrocento]] Italian art.

== Principles ==
The Brotherhood had four main principles:
# To have genuine ideas to express;
# To study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them;
# To sympathize with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parading and learned by rote;
# Most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues.

== Artistic Style ==
The Pre-Raphaelites were characterized by their use of bright colors, attention to detail, and complex compositions. They often depicted themes from literature, religion, and modern life. Their works were marked by a high degree of realism and a focus on nature.

== Major Works ==
Some of the most famous works by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood include:
* ''[[The Awakening Conscience]]'' by [[William Holman Hunt]]
* ''[[Ophelia (painting)|Ophelia]]'' by [[John Everett Millais]]
* ''[[The Light of the World (painting)|The Light of the World]]'' by [[William Holman Hunt]]
* ''[[Beata Beatrix]]'' by [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]]

== Influence and Legacy ==
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had a significant influence on the development of art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They inspired the [[Arts and Crafts movement]] and were a precursor to [[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolism]]. Their emphasis on nature and detail influenced many later artists and movements.
