The Pre-Raphaelites

The Pre-Raphaelite movement was a 19th-century group of British artists and writers who rejected the academic style of the time, aiming to return to the rich detail, vibrant color, and spiritual sincerity of art before Raphael. They often depicted medieval, literary, and nature-inspired themes with romantic and realistic elements.
