The Pre-Raphaelite art movement began in the mid-19th century in Britain. It was a reaction to the academic art of the time, which the Pre-Raphaelites believed was too rigid and formulaic. The movement was led by a group of seven young artists, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt. They sought to create art that was more naturalistic and emotionally expressive.

The Pre-Raphaelites were inspired by the art of the Italian Renaissance, particularly the work of the 15th-century painter Raphael. They sought to emulate his use of bright colours and intricate detail. They also drew inspiration from literature, often creating works based on poems and stories. Their works often featured strong female characters, and they often used symbolism to convey deeper meanings.

The Pre-Raphaelite art movement had a lasting influence on the art world. Its influence can be seen in the works of later artists, such as the French Impressionists. Today, Pre-Raphaelite art is still admired and appreciated. Art prints of Pre-Raphaelite works are available for purchase, allowing art lovers to enjoy these beautiful works in their own homes.
