The
Pre-Raphaelites
|
The
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also known as the Pre-Raphaelites)
was a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded
in 1848 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti,
James Collinson, John Everett Millais, Frederic George
Stephens, Thomas Woolner and William Holman Hunt.
The
group's intention was to reform art by rejecting what
they considered to be the mechanistic approach first adopted
by the Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo.
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".
In particular, they objected to the influence of Sir Joshua
Reynolds, the founder of the English Royal Academy of
Arts. They called him "Sir Sloshua", believing
that his broad technique was a sloppy and formulaic form
of academic Mannerism. In contrast, they wanted to return
to the abundant detail, intense colours, and complex compositions
of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.
The
Pre-Raphaelites have been considered the first avant-garde
movement in art, though they have also been denied that
status, because they continued to accept both the concepts
of history painting and of mimesis, or imitation of nature,
as central to the purpose of art. However, the Pre-Raphaelites
undoubtedly defined themselves as a reform-movement, created
a distinct name for their form of art, and published a
periodical, The Germ, to promote their ideas. Their debates
were recorded in the Pre-Raphaelite Journal.
Beginnings
of the Brotherhood
The
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in John Millais's
parents' house on Gower Street, London in 1848. At the
initial meeting, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
and William Holman Hunt were present. Hunt and Millais
were students at the Royal Academy of Arts. They had previously
met in another loose association, a sketching-society
called the Cyclographic Club. Rossetti was a pupil of
Ford Madox Brown. He had met Hunt after seeing his painting
The Eve of St. Agnes, which is based on Keats's
poem. As an aspiring poet, Rossetti wished to develop
the links between Romantic poetry and art. By autumn,
four more members had also joined, to form a seven-member-strong
Brotherhood. These were William Michael Rossetti (Dante
Gabriel Rossetti's brother), Thomas Woolner, James Collinson,
and Frederic George Stephens. Ford Madox Brown was invited
to join, but preferred to remain independent. He nevertheless
remained close to the group. Some other young painters
and sculptors were also close associates, including Charles
Allston Collins, Thomas Tupper, and Alexander Munro. They
kept the existence of the Brotherhood secret from members
of the Royal Academy.

Dante
Gabriel Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882)
was an English poet, illustrator, painter and translator.
The son of émigré Italian scholar
Gabriel Pasquale Giuseppe Rossetti and his wife Frances
Polidori, D.G. Rossetti was born in London, England
and originally named Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti.
His family and friends called him "Gabriel",
but in publications he put the name Dante first (in
honor of Dante Alighieri). He was the brother of poet
Christina Rossetti, the critic William Michael Rossetti,
and author Maria Francesca Rossetti, and was a founder
of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with John Everett
Millais and William Holman Hunt.
Like
all his siblings, he aspired to be a poet and attended
King's College School. However, he also wished to
be a painter, having shown a great interest in Medieval
Italian art. He studied at Henry Sass's Drawing Academy
from 1841 to 1845 when he enrolled at the Antique
School of the Royal Academy, leaving in 1848. After
leaving the Royal Academy, Rossetti studied underFord
Madox Brown, with whom he was to retain a close relationship
throughout his life.
