2. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
The Pre-Raphaelites were a group of painters
in the mid-nineteenth century. They believed in
nature and color in painting, as opposed to
much of the art of their time which was dark
and lacking in detail.

3. Pre-Raphaelites The Pre-Raphaelites believed that art should
be more realistic, and not as artificial as some
of the art they had seen. Therefore they took
extra time to learn about nature, so that it could
be perfectly represented in their works.

4. Grand Manner Use of bitumen kept the paintings dark, and lacking in
detail. Usually for portraits of
people.

5. Pre-Raphaelite With added color and texture,
and a realism that other styles did
not capture. Like a photograph.

6. Pre-Raphaelites The Pre-Raphaelites used both nature and
romance in their paintings. They also liked to
draw on themes from mythology. One of the
best collections of Pre-Raphaelite work is in
Birmingham, England, and some believe that it
was an influence on J.R.R. Tolkien.
