In 1848, three students at the Royal Academy in London created the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and imposed a new style based on the direct observation of nature. Their motto? To rediscover a simplicity and truth they believed had been lost since Raphael, through an art of light and vivid colors, poetry and seduction.
In six thematic chapters, religious art, literature and mythology, landscape, daily life, portraiture, decorative arts, this book reveals the essential and the more secret works of artists such as John William Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris or Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Abundant and spectacular iconography, including very well-known works but also more often confidential paintings (paintings, drawings, wallpapers, tapestries, stained glass windows, ceramics).
