What does pre-raphaelite mean?
'Before Raphael'. The Pre-Raphaelites were a group of British artists in the 1850's. They believed that the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art. Hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite" The group had nothing against Raphael as such. They thought he was a genius. But they were against the teaching of structured painting that had developed in the art establishment based on his work, such as triangular compositions which had almost turned art into an exercise in geometry, and the PRB considered it corrupting the Royal Academy and art in general. The 'ite' in the term Pre-Raphaelite is important. It shows that it was not Raphael that they disliked, but his followers/imitators.
Famous English painters?

How did Victorian art portray Victorian life?
Victorian art often reflected the complexities and contradictions of Victorian life, showcasing both the era's moral values and social anxieties. It depicted themes of domesticity, social class, and industrial progress, frequently idealizing family life while also exposing the struggles faced by the working class. Artists used symbolism and elaborate detail to convey emotional depth and social commentary, highlighting issues like poverty, gender roles, and the impact of industrialization. Overall, Victorian art served as both a mirror and a critique of the societal norms and challenges of its time.
Did they have coluring pencils in the Victorian times?
Yes, coloring pencils were available during the Victorian era, though they were different from the modern versions we use today. The first commercial colored pencils were introduced in the early 19th century, with some of the earliest examples appearing in Europe around the 1830s. These early colored pencils were made from a mix of pigments and clay, encased in wood, and were primarily used for artistic purposes. They gained popularity among artists and children alike throughout the Victorian period.
