Monday Morning Museum: The Pre-Raphaelites


The Pre-Raphaelites – Britain from 1848 to the Late-Nineteenth Century
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The three founders were joined by William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner to form the seven-member "brotherhood". – Wikipedia.org

In addition to Dante Gabriel Rossetti (see art example below), the other member of the Pre-Raphaelites are William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, William Michael Rossetti, James Colloinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner.
