fuck yeah, pre-raphaelites
Archive Random Submit Ask
The Pre-Raphaelite movement was a reform group of artists and poets founded in 1849. Their main focus in art was to reject the dramatic, aritificial Mannerist painting styles succeeding Raphael and Michelangelo (hence the term "pre-raphaelite") and to create more genuine, humble representations of their subjects. They painted brightly-colored, evenly-lit pictures with a particular emphasis on realism, elaborate detail, medieval history, symbolism, and nature.
