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.

Edward
Burne-Jones
Sir
Edward Coley Burne-Jones, 1st Baronet (28 August 1833 –
17 June 1898) was an English artist and designer closely associated
with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, who worked
closely with William Morris on a wide range of decorative arts
as a founding partner in Morris, Marshall, Faulkner, and Company.
Burne-Jones was closely involved in the rejuvenation of the tradition
of stained glass art in England; his stained glass works include
the windows of Birmingham Cathedral, St Martin's Church in Brampton,
Cumbria, the church designed by Philip Webb, All Saints, Jesus
Lane, Cambridge and in Christ Church College, Oxford.
Burne-Jones's
early paintings show the heavy inspiration of Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
but by the 1860s Burne-Jones was discovering his own artistic
"voice". In 1877, he was persuaded to show eight oil
paintings at the Grosvenor Gallery (a new rival to the Royal Academy).
These included The Beguiling of Merlin. The timing was right,
and he was taken up as a herald and star of the new Aesthetic
Movement.

John
Everett Millais
Sir
John Everett Millais, 1st Baronet, PRA (8 June 1829 –
13 August 1896) was an English painter and illustrator and one
of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Millais (pronounced
Mih-lay) was born in Southampton, England in 1829, of a prominent
Jersey-based family. His prodigious artistic talent won him
a place at the Royal Academy schools at the unprecedented age
of eleven. While there, he met William Holman Hunt and Dante
Gabriel Rossetti with whom he formed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
(known as the "PRB") in September 1848 in his family
home on Gower Street, off Bedford Square.
Millais'
Christ In The House Of His Parents (1850) was highly
controversial because of its realistic portrayal of a working
class Holy Family labouring in a messy carpentry workshop. Later
works were also controversial, though less so. Millais achieved
popular success with A Huguenot (1852), which depicts
a young couple about to be separated because of religious conflicts.
He repeated this theme in many later works.

Dante
Gabriel Rossetti
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.
