Santa, thank you for an interesting topic ! :)>
" Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood " appeared in the late 1840s as a counterweight to the official position of the Royal Academy of Arts. Pre-Raphaelites believed that you only need to paint from nature, using new, specially designed equipment, " revived " the sincerity and simplicity of Italian art of the Quattrocento , as it was before Raphael.
"Without their symbolism would not have had our silver age . Vasnetsov, Vrubel and some other prominent representatives of Russian modernism is often called - " Russian Pre-Raphaelites ' "- said Alisher Usmanov.
In Russia, their work can be seen in the Hermitage, the Museum of Fine Arts , which houses one tapestry. In Pavlovsk are two paintings by Lawrence Alma - Todemy .

"Desperate Romantics"
 

Highly recommend looking into the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood series about "Desperate Romantics " http://www.kinopoisk.ru/level/1/film/469542/.
The film is too emotional in my opinion , and creates an ambiguous impression about these talented artists. Some facts about the Pre-Raphaelites little changed, but this is the right writer and director . :)>

That is probably one of the answers to the eternal question, "This is art or not."
If the written sentiments, the issue is by itself, only by such artists as little now as the 'if'.

A topic for information and a special thank you!
