The story of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood came into being through a chance meeting in 1848 between Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Millais and Holman Hunt. They were young and rebelled against art school teaching and its affectations - 'Truth to Nature' was their creed.
Derek Parker draws a portrait of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and assesses their contribution to 19th century art and literature.
