PRE-RAPHAELITE ART
The Pre-Raphaelite movement was a reform group of artists and poets founded in 1849. Their main objective in art was to reject the dramatic, artificial 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.
