Neuware -Die Bruderschaft der Präraffaeliten gründete sich 1848 als Geheimbund. Die Künstler verwarfen klassische Ideale und die damals vorherrschenden Kunsttheorien und entwickelten stattdessen einen spirituelleren, naturalistischeren und persönlicheren Ansatz. Gründungsmitglieder waren William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais und Dante Gabriel Rossetti, später kamen vier weitere Mitglieder hinzu, um eine siebenköpfige 'Bruderschaft' aus Malern, Dichtern und Kritikern zu bilden. Bewusst wandten sie sich von klassischen Kompositionen ab, für die exemplarisch Raffael stand (daher der Name). Stattdessen ließen sie sich vom Mittelalter und den schillernden Farben der italienischen Frührenaissance inspirieren. Ihre Hauptthemen waren ursprünglich religiöser Natur, schöpften aber auch aus der Literatur, wie am Beispiel von Sir John Everett Millais' berühmter Ophelia (aus Shakespeares Hamlet) zu erkennen ist. Beeinflusst von den Theorien John Ruskins, widmeten sie sich auch dem eingehenden Studium der Natur. Dieses Buch stellt anhand der Schlüsselwerke der Präraffaeliten ihre reaktionären Prinzipien, ihre schillernden Farben, ihr Interesse an Liebe, Tod und Natur und ihren enormen Einfluss auf den Symbolismus und weitere spätere Kunstrichtungen vor. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Founded in 1848 as a secret society, the Pre-Raphaelites rejected classical ideals and the dominant artistic genre painting of their era for what they saw as a more spiritual, sincere, and naturalistic approach. Founded by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, they evolved into a seven-member “brotherhood” that included poets and critics as well as painters.
Moving away from the classical compositions exemplified by Raphael (hence the group’s name), the Pre-Raphaelites rather turned to medieval culture and the jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art for inspiration. Their principal themes were initially religious, but also included subjects from literature and poetry, as exemplified by Sir John Everett Millais’s famous Ophelia, drawn from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, they were also committed to the close study of nature.
This book presents key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group to introduce their reactionary principles, their dazzling colors, their interest in love, death, and nature, and their extensive influence on latter-day Symbolism and beyond.
