Pre-Raphaelite Resource Site

Pre-Raphaelitism was Britain’s most significant and influential 19th-century art movement. Founded in 1848, it centred on a group of three young artists: William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais. These artists sought to revive English art by radically turning away from the old studio tradition and bringing painting into direct contact with nature.

The creation of a Pre-Raphaelite online resource allows for both an extraordinary overview and an in-depth analysis of the subject area by crossing media boundaries and collating new visual and metadata material. The project provides unique links to artists and art works that might not have been discovered previously, and allows users to go into further points of study and enquiry. It also provides the education community with images relevant to their needs, easy to find, easy to use and customisable.
