Surgidos en 1848 como una sociedad secreta, los prerrafaelitas rechazaban los ideales clásicos y la pintura del género artístico dominante en esa época y apostaban por un enfoque, según ellos, más espiritual, sincero y naturalista. William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais y Dante Gabriel Rosetti fundaron la sociedad, que acabó convirtiéndose en una "hermandad" de siete miembros que incluía poetas y críticos, además de pintores.
Alejándose de las composiciones clásicas como las de Rafael (de ahí el nombre del grupo), los prerrafaelitas se inspiraron en la cultura medieval y los colores brillantes del arte del Quattrocento. En un principio, sus temas principales eran religiosos, pero también recurrieron a la literatura y la poesía. Un ejemplo de ello es la famosa Ofelia de sir John Everett Millais, extraída del Hamlet de Shakespeare. Inspirados por las teorías de John Ruskin, también se dedicaron al estudio exhaustivo de la naturaleza.
Este libro muestra obras clave del grupo prerrafaelita para introducir sus principios reaccionarios, sus deslumbrantes colores, su interés por el amor, la muerte y la naturaleza, y su extensa influencia en el simbolismo moderno, entre otros movimientos.

Hardback. Condición: New. Founded in 1848 as a secret society, the Pre-Raphaelites rejected classical ideals and the dominant artistic genre painting of their era for what they saw as a more spiritual, sincere, and naturalistic approach. Founded by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, they evolved into a seven-member "brotherhood" that included poets and critics as well as painters. Moving away from the classical compositions exemplified by Raphael (hence the group's name), the Pre-Raphaelites rather turned to medieval culture and the jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art for inspiration. Their principal themes were initially religious, but also included subjects from literature and poetry, as exemplified by Sir John Everett Millais's famous Ophelia, drawn from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, they were also committed to the close study of nature. This book presents key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group to introduce their reactionary principles, their dazzling colors, their interest in love, death, and nature, and their extensive influence on latter-day Symbolism and beyond.
