 Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1850 the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood became controversial after the exhibition of Millais's painting "Christ in the House of His Parents", considered to be blasphemous by many reviewers, notably Charles Dickens.
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in John Millais' parents' house on Gower Street, London in 1848.
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets and critics, founded in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt.

 COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION PRE-RAPHAELITE BROTHERHOOD: 5-21-97
The members of the Brotherhood included its leader, the painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, his civil servant brother William Michael Rossetti, the painters William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Frederick George Stephens and James Collinson, and the sculptor Thomas Woolner.
The name of the Brotherhood itself referred to a time when the visual art of painting was more liberated from "school rules".
In August of 1849 the Brotherhood discussed the publication of a literary periodical which would function as the official organ of the P.R.B. At their meetings various names for the publication were considered including "Thoughts Toward Nature", "The P.R.B. Journal", and "The Seed".

 Pre-Raphaelite Arts: Aesthetic and Social Experiment in the 1860s by Elizabeth Helsinger - Ideas, Vol. 5, No. 2, 1998
Those social relations might be thought of as an extension of the camaraderie of artists as young men that found its first form in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and its second in the Oxford Union-fresco-painting lark.
"Brotherhood" was reconstituted to fit the newly married status of the artists, incorporating their wives in a different form of artistic fellowship.
The PRB also published four issues of a little-read small illustrated periodical, The Germ, to which Rossetti, who wrote as readily as he drew, contributed a few fine poems.

 The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: Artists and their Works
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was created in 1848 by seven artists: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, John Everett Millais, Frederic George Stephens, Thomas Woolner and William Holman Hunt.
Their goal was to develop a naturalistic style of art, throwing away the rules and conventions that were drilled into students' heads at the Academies.

 The Pre-Raphaelite Critic
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, or PRB, was formed in 1848 as a group of young painters in Britain who wished to experiment with the Horatian principle of ut pictura poesis, which means (in a great oversimplification) that painting and poetry are merely two different ways of expressing the same ideas.
The Brotherhood wished to "correct" the false principles on which the arts had been based since the time of Raphael--they thought that beauty had supplanted truth in art, and that a return to the principles of truth and usefulness would create better art.
The criticism garnered by the PRB was often derogatory, aiming to ridicule their "backward" aims in painting technique, their supposed Roman Catholic leanings, or the triteness of their poems.

 Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
A reaction against the triviality of early Victorian academic art, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was based partly on Ruskin's doctrine of ‘truth to nature’, and partly on the idea of return to pre-Renaissance ideals.
William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones were among the many artists influenced at this time.
The early pictures, painted with minute detail and brilliant colour, aroused the enthusiasm of many followers.

 The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
In 1849 Dante Gabriel Rossetti formed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in reaction against the conservative theories and formal constraints of the Royal Academy where Rossetti had tried to study art but left in dissatisfaction.
He and his disciples wanted to restore simplicity, truth, and vitality to art, the model for which they found in the works of medieval and Renaissance art before the rise of the Italian painter, Raphael, and hence the name Pre-Raphaelite.
As the leading figure and founder of the PRB, Rossetti drew six other members into his fold: William Michael Rossetti (his brother), James Collinson (another painter), William Holman Hunt (painter), John Everett Millais (painter), Thomas Woolner (sculptor), Frederic George Stephens (art critic).

 Pre-Raphaelites
The friends decided to form a secret society, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, in deference to the sincerities of the early Renaissance before Raphael developed his grand manner.
The Pre-Raphaelites achieved such intense luminosity in their work by painting pure colors onto a canvas that had been prepared with white paint, sometimes reapplied fresh before each day's work, so as to give the hues added brilliance.
Their ambition was to bring English art (such as it was) back to a greater "truth to nature." They deeply admired the simplicities of the early 15th century, and they felt this admiration made them a brotherhood.

 The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
Meanwhile as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was flourishing, a young woman unknowingly influenced a sort of "sisterhood" among the Pre-Raphaelites.
Eventually, because of lack of participation, the Brotherhood was disbanded in 1857, when the last cooperative Pre-Raphaelite work "The Valley of Jehoshaphat" was published.
It consisted of the collective works of art, literature, and social commentary authored by the various members of the Pre-Raphaelites, but unfortunately was short-lived, only six issues spanning January to May 1850.

 Ophelia in Pre-Raphaelite art
The meticulous detail in the nature scene surrounding her is often cited as a prime example of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's original ideals--which actually had little to do with the lushly romantic portrayals of women that soon became associated with the movement.
This painting is just one reason Lizzie is often closely associated with the Ophelia image; she would later identify herself with the unfortunate maiden in her poem "A Year and a Day".

The influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood is surprisingly profound, for the second wave, especially Edward Burne Jones (who greatly impacted on Audrey Beardsley) and William Morris (who essentially created the Arts and Crafts movement), became extremely influential.
By mid-Victorian times some of the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and several new artists associated with the movement, had become well known, albeit quite controversial.
It did not bode well for the brotherhood, despite the fact that many critics had liked some of their work, especially the unmistakably gifted draftsmanship of the outlandishly precocious Millais.
