"I mean by a picture a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be - in a light better than any light that ever shone - in a land no-one can define, or remember, only desire - and the forms divinely beautiful."
- Sir Edward Burne-Jones

The Pre-Raphaelite movement was a reaction against 'modern' techniques (ie. the Impressionists) the in the late 1800s. The Pre-Raphaelites wished to return to the style seen before the painter Raphael (hence the name). Though the movement had little to offer the development of art, and thus is often derided by critics, it is responsible for many beautiful and memorable images.

In this gallery I have presented a few of my favourite Pre-Raphaelite painter's works. To see other paintings by these artists, and many more, visit Artmagick. Enjoy...
