  • Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) Had Only Seven Members but Influenced Many Other Artists
    1 • Of course, their patrons, largely the middle-class themselves form different groups and each member of the PRB appealed to different types of buyers but together they created a stronger brand. In fact, they differed from a boy band as they created works that were bought independently. As well as their overall PRB brand each created an individual brand (sub-cognitive branding) that convinced the buyer they were making a wise investment. • Millais could be trusted as he was a born artist, an honest Englishman and made an ARA in 1853 and later RA (and President just before he died). • Hunt could be trusted as an investment as he was serious, had religious convictions and worked hard at everything he did. • Rossetti was a typical unreliable Romantic image of the artist so buying one of his paintings was a wise investment as you were buying the work of a ‘real artist’. 2 • The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) had only seven members but influenced many other artists. • Those most closely associated with the PRB were Ford Madox Brown (who was seven years older), Elizabeth Siddal (who died in 1862) and Walter Deverell (who died in 1854). • Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris were about five years younger. They met at Oxford and were influenced by Rossetti. I will discuss them more fully when I cover the Arts & Crafts Movement. • There were many other artists influenced by the PRB including, • John Brett, who was influenced by John Ruskin, • Arthur Hughes, a successful artist best known for April Love, • Henry Wallis, an artist who is best known for The Death of Chatterton (1856) and The Stonebreaker (1858), • William Dyce, who influenced the Pre-Raphaelites and whose Pegwell Bay is untypical but the most Pre-Raphaelite in style of his works.

  • NGA | Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Art and Design, 1848-1900
    National Gallery of Art Pre-Raphaelites Victorian Art and Design, 1848 – 1900 February 17 – May 19, 2013 4 Introduction 6 Origins 11 Literature and History 17 Nature 22 Salvation 29 Beauty 35 Paradise 42 Mythologies 49 Biographies Pre-Raphaelites Introduction Queen Victoria had been on the throne for little more than a decade when seven fervent young men formed a secret society in London in 1848 with the aim of rejuvenating the arts in industrial-age Britain. Bonding over their mutual passion for medieval art and disdain for contemporary painting practices, they called their group the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) in acknowledgment of their admiration of art prior to Raphael (1483 – 1520). The three most talented members were John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt — ages nineteen, twenty, and twenty-one, respectively. Along with other artists in their circle, most significantly their men- tor Ford Madox Brown, they sowed the seeds of a self-consciously avant-garde movement, one whose ideals they published in a short-lived journal, The Germ. Pre-Raphaelite paintings often addressed subjects of moral seriousness, whether pertaining to history, literature, religion, or modern society. While the artists emulated the pure colors, spatial flatness, and linear draftsmanship of late Gothic and early Renaissance art, their unconventional style — with its hyperrealism and brilliant palette — looked shocking to the public when their first paintings were exhibited in 1849. As an official group, the Pre-Raphaelites stayed together for only five years. But a second generation of artists, centered on Rossetti and led by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, arose in the 1860s with the aim of cultivating beauty in everyday life.

Blazoning Mary Magdalene Sophie Gray, The University of Liverpool Mary Magdalene is a significant figure in the Christian world, largely due to her unique relationship with Christ. As a woman and a reformed prostitute, the Magdalene is an unlikely friend to the son of God. However, despite her low social status and sinful past, Mary is featured in all four Gospels and is present at several crucial moments in Christ’s life and death: she anoints his feet as a sign of humbleness, witnesses his crucifixion and is the first to see his resurrection, after which she leaves society to lead a contemplative life in the desert. As patron saint of repentant sinners and the contemplative life, Mary Magdalene was an aspirational figure in late medieval piety, and the subject of many religious paintings and statues.
