Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde
12/09/2012 - 13/01/2013
From September 12 2012 to January 13 2013, Tate Britain in London will be hosting "Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde", a celebration of what was the first popular movement in modern British art.
Under the leadership of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, and John Everett Millais, the PRB, an acronym for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, represented a rebellious uproar against the British artistic establishment typical of the 19th century, drawing inspiration from art before Raphael, before academia and an orthodox spirit hesitant to sway too far from the line became mainstream.
The exhibition includes a collection of 150 works of art: paintings, sculptures, photographs and applied arts.
