Société secrète fondée en 1848, les préraphaélites ont rejeté les idées classiques et la peinture de genre dominante de leur époque pour privilégier une approche qu’ils considéraient plus spirituelle, plus sincère et plus naturaliste. Constitué à l’origine de William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais et Dante Gabriel Rossetti, le groupe s’est élargi à une «confrérie» à sept comprenant des poètes et des critiques aussi bien que des peintres.
Prenant leurs distances par rapport aux compositions classiques à la Raphaël (d’où le nom du groupe) les préraphaélites se sont plutôt tournés vers la culture médiévale et les couleurs évoquant des joyaux de l’art du Quattrocento pour y puiser leur inspiration. Leurs principaux thèmes, d’abord religieux, se sont élargis à des sujets tirés de la littérature et de la poésie, ce dont témoigne la célèbre Ophélie de John Everett Millais, d’après le Hamlet de Shakespeare. S’inspirant des théories de John Ruskin, ils se sont également consacrés à l’étude méticuleuse de la nature.
Ce livre rassemble des œuvres clé des préraphaélites pour présenter leurs principes réactionnaires, leurs couleurs éblouissantes, leur intérêt pour l’amour, la mort et la nature, ainsi que la grande influence qu’ils ont exercée sur le symbolisme, et au-delà.

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.
